Oscar Wilde -
Art for art's sake? I should think so, and more so than ever at the present time. It is the one orderly product which our middling race has produced.

I feel like the world is dominated by such a small group of human beings. There are so many different kinds of people that aren't represented, that don't have characters who look like them. And that's one of the reasons why I intend on being a director, because I want to actually tell some of these stories.

We need to realize that art and creation are so much bigger than an award or any measure of accomplishment.
