“Whoever wants to know something about me - as an artist which alone is...” — Gustav Klimt Quote

“Whoever wants to know something about me - as an artist which alone is significant - they should look attentively at my pictures and there seek to recognise what I am and what I want.”

“Even when I have to write a simple letter I'm scared stiff as if faced with looming seasickness.”

“Although even when I am being idle I have plenty of food for thought both early and late - thoughts both about and not about art.”

“Even in the presence of others he was completely alone.”

“You'd think I'd have been happiest in my life playing music in front of 50,000 people at Gillette Stadium. But let me tell you, it's an odd feeling to feel alone in the spotlight.”

“The only real progress lies in learning to be wrong all alone.”
