One must give himself completely to his art and not hold back. Throw caution to the wind. Embrace the muse. Make love to your art.

About This Quote

"Art is an act of love" is a beautiful way to put it. Art is an act of love, and you must give yourself completely to your art. You must remove all self-doubt and doubt that you are any good at all. You must throw caution to the wind and embrace the muse.

Embrace the idea that the beauty of art lies in its imperfection. Art should be more than perfect, it should be messy and conflicted and undirected. Take your art seriously, but not too seriously.
