If you find something to tell, tell it to your truest, though that make little to tell; the truer you speak, the more you will know to tell.

I feel an intense intimacy with those who have this loathing interest in me. Further than this, I know what they mean, I sympathize with them, I understand them. There should be a name (as poetic as love) for this relationship between loather and loathed; it is of the closest and more full of passion than incest.

If you make something with love and, you know, passion and you tell a real story, I think it will always find an audience somehow, you know.

When you know something in your heart, you better not be quiet about it. You better speak out about it.

It's humbling and enthralling to know your legacy when you're alive.

Art indeed is a term referring to the social source and to the social utility of creative acts.
