“Being an artist means ceasing to take seriously that very serious person we are when we are not an artist.”
“I like to feel the butterflies in the stomach, I like to go home and have a restless night and wonder how I'm going to be able to accomplish this feat, get jittery. That hunger and those butterflies in the stomach are very essential for all creative people.”
