If you only believe that you're an artist when you have a big advance in your pocket and a single coming out, I would say that's quite soulless.

Liberate yourself from that idea that people are watching you.
~By Russell Brand ~
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
~By Lao Tzu ~

~By Rudolf Otto ~
Love soothes wounds, while hatred and violence deepen them.
~By Willie Stargell ~
Most horror films fail to scare me. I think "The Ring" plays more as a psychological thriller. It's smarter, there's more character development and some of the themes explored go a little deeper.
~By Martin Henderson ~
