The only valid rule for a work of art is that it be true to itself.

About This Quote

We are all never the same person. We are all different people with different strengths and weaknesses. For a work of art to be successful, it must reflect this uniqueness. A work of art should be true to itself, not what the artist believes it should be. It should be something that is completely unique, not just something that is close enough to someone else's idea of what it should be.
