People Tend to see art as a form of expression, and I do find some Truth to it. Nevertheless, I tend to say “There is no good or bad art, no perfection, there is only truth”, and I do think that art is truth. It is as simple as that. If you are able to give honesty through an expression then you have made art. Everyone seem to think that art needs to be conformed to some rules, but I think that art needs to conform to nothing but truthfulness and truth itself.

Many times in my life I have wondered about art, about life, about many things, but in the end I figured that we feel good only when we are honest to ourselves and others. One cannot be honest to others if one is not honest to oneself. So, my advice to all of the kids that I teach is always honesty. Truth always gets over the ramp, truth goes directly to the hearts of the audience and leaves them thinking, and that is what I think is art at its finest.
