Truthfullness to life-both fantasy life and factual life-is the basis of all great art.
That's what art is. You don't make up stories. You live your life.
You can start making up any kind of story if you want to.
'Hansel and Gretel' is one of the scariest stories ever written! Psychotic mother; stupid, inane father.
I know that if there’s a purpose for life, it was for me to hear Mozart.
It was inconceivable to me as a child that I would be an adult. I mean, one assumed that it would happen, but obviously it didn't happen, or if it did, it happened when your back was turned, and then suddenly you were there. So I couldn't have thought about it much.
