Diplomacy: the art of restraining power.

Land really is the best art.

Criticism is the art of appraising others at one's own value.

To do a dull thing with style-now that's what I call art.

It is in this power of saying everything, and yet saying nothing too plainly, that the perfection of art consists.

The art which we may call generally art of the wayside, as opposed to that which is the business of men's lives, is, in the best sense of the word, Grotesque.

Growing up going to Christian school and the concept that you're born a sinner and you don't really have a choice to change who you are has been hammered into my head and created the entire reason why I made art and made a band and made records called 'Antichrist Superstar.'

To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.

Cunning is the art of concealing our own defects, and discovering other people's weaknesses.

I realised the bohemian life was not for me. I would look around at my friends, living like starving artists, and wonder, 'Where's the art?' They weren't doing anything. And there was so much interesting stuff to do, so much fun to be had... maybe I could even quit renting.
