You may choose your words like a connoisseur, And polish it up with art, But the word that sways, and stirs, and stays, Is the word that comes from the heart.

People are surprised at how down-to-earth I am. I like to stay home on Friday nights and listen to 'The Art of Happiness' by the Dalai Lama.

Emotion resulting from a work of art is only of value when it is not obtained by sentimental blackmail.

All good art is an indiscretion.

Great art is the contempt of a great man for small art.
