"Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better." "Everything has been said before, but since nobody listens we have to keep going back and beginning all over again." More In Courage "I try to be a truthful artist and I try to show a level of courage. I enjoy that. I’m a messenger."― Jeff Koons "I don’t have a problem with my body. I don’t diet, and I’m not hiding anything. I’m not going to be the subject of a movie of the week 10 years from now."― Lara Flynn Boyle "I’m still shy – I’m no good at my children’s parent-teacher conferences, and I’m slowly learning how to ask for what I want. But I now know that I have a reserve of courage to draw upon when I really need it. There’s nothing that I’m too scared to have a go at."― Emily Mortimer
