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.

Art is something absolute, something positive, which gives power just as food gives power. While creative science is a mental food, art is the satisfaction of the soul.

Though I knew I shouldn’t have cared, the words still hurt like pinches, and pinches can be very painful when done in the same place many times in a row.

Oh, definitely and you know you take the bitter with the sweet but the benefits far outweigh the burdens of what I've been able to do for my family, my word.

When you are completely satisfied with what you have made, you're pretty much done as a director. So when that happens, that'll sort of be the end.
