“To create one's world in any of the arts takes courage.”
“To create one's own world takes courage.”
“Art is a personal act of courage, something one human does that creates change in another.”
“I think it takes much greater courage to create things to be gone than to create things that will remain”
“It takes great courage to see the world in all its tainted glory, and still to love it. And even more courage to see it in the one you love”
“It takes great courage to open one's heart and mind to the tremendous injustice and suffering in our world.”
