I don't sing for the critics. I sing for the fans.

I don't let the world dictate my worth.

To be an artist you have to give up everything, including the desire to be a good artist.

我想像鸟儿歌唱一样作画。

The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life.
