Being inexhaustible, life and nature are a constant stimulus for a creative mind.

In nature, light creates the color. In the picture, color creates the light.

The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.

Art is to me the glorification of the human spirit, and as such it is the cultural documentation of the time in which it is produced.

Our entire being is nourished by color.

It is not the form that dictates the color, but the color that brings out the form.

A work of art is a world in itself reflecting senses and emotions of the artist's world.

Colors must fit together as pieces in a puzzle or cogs in a wheel.

Painters must speak through paint, not through words.

Art is the expression of the artist´s overflowing soul.

The global industrial economy is the engine for massive environmental degradation and massive human (and nonhuman) impoverishment.

Advertising is fundamentally persuasion and persuasion happens to be not a science, but an art.

I think my biggest tip - and I consider it a part of my beauty routine - is getting my sleep, without a doubt. I do a true eight hours.

My music was typically continental - nothing like, say, The Beatles.

It only seems that there is something more important for you to do than to just quietly be yourself.

Every book is a kind of experiment in doing something that feels impossible.

I thought it might be a good move to get into a beauty contest so I tried for Miss Pennsylvania and won. I think that helped me get noticed, at least by the people of Pennsylvania.

Every single one of my books had its title changed almost as we were going to press, for all sorts of different reasons.
