“Only through art can we emerge from ourselves and know what another person sees.”

“We can only know what we can truly imagine. Finally what we see comes from ourselves.”

“But there is all these time between when the cracks start to open up and when we finally fall apart. And it's only in that time that we can see one another, because we see out of ourselves through our cracks and into others through theirs.”

“Sometimes we have to inspire and encourage ourselves, through our personal narrative. And we start with what we know.”

“It is through art, and through art only, that we can realise our perfection.”

“Is it possible, in the final analysis, for one human being to achieve perfect understanding of another?We can invest enormous time and energy in serious efforts to know another person, but in the end, how close can we come to that person's essence? We convince ourselves that we know the other person well, but do we really know anything important about anyone?”
