The artistic path is a fearless occupation.

The world loves a clone and a good knock-off. It cheats the artist... In the obsession for technical wizardry, people disappear; and if your voice isn't present in a relationship, you don't matter.

The deep art... That's the part that has to be guarded like a miser would his money... Like a dope addict would his dope... Like a lover with their love.

Fear, safety, and conformity make you mediocre and average

My intention was to grapple with the metaphysical meaning behind Scheherazade and present that meaning in its essence. Scheherazade is the symbol of the savior. She weaves tales not to save her own life, but to save humanity from its unending retributive response to injury.

The purpose of art is higher than art. What we are really interested in are masterpieces of humanity.

To change the world, you must first change yourself. And baby, that's hard enough.
