I don't think I am scared of intimacy, but I am frightened of making a mistake. offering more than I have, or expecting more than you can give. - Matt Sedon

Letter writing is an excellent way of slowing down this lunatic helterskelter universe long enough to gather one’s thoughts

Our old experiences, memories and fears guide us down the present path. It's not so much that you are the artist; you are the conduit.

Every one of us sees 'green' differently. So everything is an approximation of understanding.

Art becomes a spiritual process depending upon the degree of commitment that you bring to it. Every experience becomes direct food for your art. Then your art teaches you about life.

It's the nasty and the accident that form the foundation for elegance that comes later.

You cannot separate art from life or spirituality. They are bound together in a single unit.

Pain and beauty, our constant bedfellows

She who licks her lips knows the taste of her lover's desires

Art is like therapy; what comes up is what comes up. It may be dark, but that's what comes up. You may want to keep some of it in a drawer but never judge it.

I was frightened to go forward, but I was even more frightened of going back.

The soldier in the portrait had been a respected and admired officer...The man he had become was fighting a different battle now. He had his demons, just as she had her ghosts.

To be at ease is better than to be at business.

You want to be the best at your position. And if people think of me as one of the best ever, that's the ultimate compliment.

Writing stories has given me the power to change things I could not change as a child. I can make boys into doctors. I can make fathers stop drinking. I can make mothers stay.

The cities of the future will be much smaller than they are today.

I just enjoy working with really wonderful actors and amazing creative people and I hope to keep doing that, no matter where.
