艺术家必须无视‘高雅’与‘通俗’之间的区别。艺术家必须热爱生活，并展示出我们可以成为世界与人性的镜子。

From time to time you may stumble， fall， you will for sure， count on this， no doubt， you will have questions and you will have doubts about your path. But I know this， if you’re willing to listen to， be guided by， that still small voice that is the G.P.S. within yourself， to find out what makes you come alive， you will be more than okay. You will be happy， you will be successful， and you will make a difference in the world.
