I think failure is nothing more than life's way of nudging you that you are off course. My attitude to failure is not attached to outcome but in not trying. It is liberating. Most people attach failure to something not working out or how people perceive you. This way it is about answering to yourself.

That attitude that fighting is probably not fair but you have to defend yourself anyway and damage the enemy has been profoundly consequential as far as my political activism goes.

Some people say I have attitude - maybe I do... but I think you have to. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does - that makes you a winner right there.

Be sure what you want and be sure about yourself. Fashion is not just beauty it's about good attitude. You have to believe in yourself and be strong.

Success or failure depends more upon attitude than upon capacity successful men act as though they have accomplished or are enjoying something. Soon it becomes a reality. Act look feel successful conduct yourself accordingly and you will be amazed at the positive results.

It is very important to generate a good attitude a good heart as much as possible. From this happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come.

All art is exorcism. I paint dreams and visions too the dreams and visions of my time. Painting is the effort to produce order order in yourself. There is much chaos in me much chaos in our time.

One of the things you're doing when you make art apart from entertaining yourself and other people is trying to see what ways of working feel good what feels right.

To injure an opponent is to injure yourself. To control aggression without inflicting injury is the Art of Peace.

Love the art in yourself and not yourself in the art.

The only way to avoid being unhappy is to close yourself up in Art and to count for nothing all the rest.

Once you take yourself too seriously the art will suffer.

'Untitled' is a time machine that can transport you to 1992 an edgy moment when the art world was crumbling money was scarce and artists like Tiravanija were in the nascent stages of combining Happenings performance art John Cage Joseph Beuys and the do-it-yourself ethos of punk. Meanwhile a new art world was coming into being.

Summer is a great time to visit art museums which offer the refreshing rinse of swimming pools - only instead of cool water you immerse yourself in art.

Egotism: The art of seeing in yourself what others cannot see.

Listen to your inner-voice: Surround yourself with loving nurturing people. Fall in love with your art and find yourself. Music is the great communicator.

Being an artist is dragging your innermost feelings out giving a piece of yourself no matter in which art form in which medium.

Be true to yourself help others make each day your masterpiece make friendship a fine art drink deeply from good books - especially the Bible build a shelter against a rainy day give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.

When you are offended at any man's fault turn to yourself and study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger.

Acting is something I appreciate and I think it's been an amazing experience. But I'm not passionate about acting the way you probably should be to call yourself an actor.

When things happen - you ask yourself why today why not tomorrow why not yesterday? That's the most amazing thing about time.

That's an amazing moment the first time you hear yourself on radio. It's still thrilling.
