A successful artist of any kind has to work so hard that she is justified in refusing to lay down her sceptre until she is placed on the bier. ↗

When I first met Big, we were both at a 'Bad Boy' family photo shoot. I was kind of familiar with the name Biggie Smalls, but I really wasn't that much into hip-hop at the time, so I really didn't know that was him. He said he didn't even know I was an artist on 'Bad Boy.' ↗

The writer, when he is also an artist, is someone who admits what others don't dare reveal. ↗

I wanted nothing less than to be a fiction writer when I was a kid. If you had told me I would be an artist or novelist when I grew up, I would have laughed in your face. ↗

In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love. ↗

My dad's side of the family had lots of artists and musicians. There's an emotional, quite sentimental quality to Slavic culture. It's very open, it loves art, it loves music, it loves literature. It's very warm, it's very up, it's very down. I would celebrate that. ↗

I hope what I do has an art to it, and as an artist you have to try new things and keep yourself entertained. ↗

The most difficult thing in the world is to reveal yourself, to express what you have to. As an artist, I feel that we must try many things - but above all we must dare to fail. You must be willing to risk everything to really express it all. ↗

The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is. ↗

To note an artist's limitations is but to define his talent. A reporter can write equally well about everything that is presented to his view, but a creative writer can do his best only with what lies within the range and character of his deepest sympathies. ↗
