people sides shy
I like the really human sides of people. To meet them and see that theyre complicated and weird or shy or any of those things sort of makes it even better to know that they can rise above that and make something great.
endless states fixed
Romanticism is not just about being in a fixed state of endless beauty, because you can't live like that or live on that, that's what I've learnt.
art believe needs
You really need faith in yourself to make art and to stand up for what you believe in.
people faces different
The faces people make when they are photographed and the face they have when you draw them are very different.
