Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.
Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.

If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.
