When We Respect The Nude, We Will

Your Only Hope Of Satisfying Others Is In Satisfying Yourself. I Speak Of A Great Satisfaction, Not A Commercial Satisfaction.

An Artist's Job Is To Surprise Himself. Use All Means Possible.

Don't Worry About The Rejections. Everybody That's Good Has Gone Through It. Don't Let It Matter If Your Works Are Not "accepted" At Once. The Better Or More Personal You Are The Less Likely They Are Of Acceptance.

The Object, Which Is Back Of Every True Work Of Art, Is The Attainment Of A State Of Being, A State Of High Functioning, A More Than Ordinary Moment Of Existence. In Such Moments Activity Is Inevitable, And Whether This Activity Is With Brush, Pen, Chisel, Or Tongue, Its Result Is But A By-product Of The State, A Trace, The Footprint Of The State.

Don't Worry About Your Originality. You Couldn't Get Rid Of It Even If You Wanted To. It Will Stick With You And Show Up For Better Or Worse In Spite Of All You Or Anyone Else Can Do.
