The true artist helps the world by revealing mystic truths.

And the part about being a professional artist is that you can tell, and you can do it over again, even if you can't say how you got there exactly.

I thought I might have to give up art, but I couldn't think of anything else to do.

I like to use my hands and make things... It might seem pretty stupid or pointless but that doesn't matter... some of the most interesting work is the stuff that starts like that - out of a raw need for activity.

What is it that an artist does when he is left alone in his studio? My conclusion was that if I was an artist and I was in the studio, then everything I was doing in the studio should be art . . . . From that point on, art became more of an activity and less of a product.

And sometimes the question that you pose or the project that you start yourself turns into something else, you know, but at least it gets you started.
