“So please ask yourself: What would I do if I weren’t afraid? And then go do it.”

“Some people are born to make great art and others are born to appreciate it…It is a kind of talent in itself, to be an audience, whether you are the spectator in the gallery or you are listening to the voice of the world’s greatest soprano. Not everyone can be the artist. There have to be those who witness the art, who love and appreciate what they have been privileged to see.”
