❝I sentimenti più dolorosi e le emozioni più pungenti, sono quelli assurdi: l’ansia di cose impossibili, proprio perché sono impossibili, la nostalgia di ciò che non c’è mai stato, il desiderio di ciò che potrebbe essere stato, la pena di non essere un altro, l’insoddisfazione per l’esistenza del mondo.
❝An artist is, by nature, someone very sensitive, who expresses with talent the pains that he has suffered. He uses art to replace the communication that he didn’t, or doesn’t have with others. Most artists were sensitive children, often introverted, and suddenly they discover that there is a big demand for that very same expression of their sensitivity. They discover that, in our harsh world, there’s an oasis for dream makers, and you even get paid for it.
