Being best is a false goal, you have to measure success on your own terms.

Painting is so poetic, while sculpture is more logical and scientific and makes you worry about gravity.

I think art is good at looking back and looking forward. I don't think art is good at looking head-on. At the end of the day, people are more important than paintings.

The exterior cannot do without the interior since it is from this, as from life, that it derives much of its inspiration and character.

Getting comments like that from even the young people at the shows who probably aren't singers, the girls who just tell me that I'm an inspiration to them, for one reason or another.

For the great speakers, it's all about the audience. And the feeling they have is that they're giving a gift, of maybe knowledge or inspiration or motivation.
