Listen to the sound of the earth turning.
There are things you can never take, no matter how strong you are.
The first idea, the first art piece I ever did, was when I was four. I cut the seed of a pear in half and the seed of an apple in half in put those two halves together and planted the seed, hoping a very strange tree might grow. And I never stopped.
A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.
Tape the sound of friends laughing together. Save it for a rainy day.
I don't think you make a choice to be an artist. There was no decision for me. I've been expressing myself this way since I can remember.
