James Whistler

An artist is not paid for his labor but for his vision.

It takes a long time for a man to look like his portrait.

You shouldn't say it is not good. You should say, you do not like it; and then, you know, you're perfectly safe.

In early 1993, when I was 12, I was separated from my family as the Sierra Leone civil war, which began two years earlier, came into my life.

I love 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' and 'Extras' and also 'The Trip.' That had all the nuances of friendship and finding things out about their lives without it being too much plot-driven.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.
