What art does is to coax us away from the mechanical and towards the miraculous.

Creative work is incredibly difficult, and that is where the tests lie.

I am not interested in genres. I am interested in doing the best work I can in whatever medium.

I don't like to think of myself as an insincere person but if I say I love you and I don't mean it then what else am I? Will I cherish you, adore you, make way for you, make myself better for you, look at you and always see you, tell you the truth? And if love is not those things then what things?

Saddest of all are the women who were brought up to believe that self-sacrifice is the highest female virtue. They made the sacrifice, often willingly, and they are still waiting for the blessing.

Perhaps the universe is a memory of our mistakes.

We continue to love in spite of the pain, tears & heartbreak. Perhaps the pain makes us stronger, the tear makes us braver & the heartbreak makes us wiser.
