I don't believe that artists really are interested in money. That's not the motivation for art.

Art is something that happens inside us. We look at things in the world, and we become excited by them. We understand our own possibilities of becoming. And that's what art is.

Art to me is a humanitarian act and I believe that there is a responsibility that art should somehow be able to effect mankind, to make the word a better place.

I'm making some of the greatest art being made now. It'll take the art world ten years to get around to it.

Art is about profundity. It's about connecting to everything that it means to be alive, but you have to act.

Art is obsolete now. New technologies are taking over.

Art has this ability to allow you to connect back through history in the same way that biology does. I'm always looking for source material.

The media, the galleries, the collectors - it's all very chaotic actually. The artworld doesn't have this defined corporate structure that people imagine.

Every day I wake up and I really try to pinch myself to take advantage of today and to use that freedom of gesture to do what I really like to do.

I think about my work every minute of the day.

I know how art has come in and really changed my life, so to give these children that opportunity just to come into contact with art - that's wonderful.

I know that no reader ever asks a question. A writer must force his favors upon his readers.

While sitting in the darkness in complete silence, I never realized how much there was to see and hear. There is sight and sound in darkness and silence. Learn to look and listen.

The sound of 'gentle stillness' after all the thunder and wind have passed will the ultimate Word from God.

We haven't scored which means you haven't got a chance of winning.

Wear a fabulous smile, great jewelry and know that you are totally and utterly in control.

People have always frightened and bored me consequently I have been within my own shell.

Traveling is like gambling: it is always connected with winning and losing and generally where it is least expected we receive, more or less than what we hoped for.

There's definitely a large fan base for the 'Twilight' and 'Harry Potter' movies that need their next fix.

Establish a place of work where engineers can feel the joy of technological innovation, be aware of their mission to society and work to their heart's content.
