I endeavor to trigger positive, empowering, life-giving emotion - I believe art is that powerful.

The current fad in art, is to shock people or appear 'different'... My goal is to help people find the rays of sunshine in an often dark world.

Every child is a deliberate, passionate creation of God. If you doubt that, just look into their eyes. You will find a gentle little spirit who hungers for life - and for your love.

I wake up every morning excited. Rather than become complacent or overwhelmed, I've made a choice for life - and I can do something about it.

Creating art alone doesn't seem to fill us up, in my opinion, until we begin to truly communicate with it.

Art is about communication. Art that lasts through the ages works symbolically. It triggers feelings and experiences that we've all had.

It's not our art, but our heart that's on display.

I've never met an artist whose spirit didn't want to fly.

I've come out of seeing death and chosen to focus on the life that's sprouting everywhere, like flowers. And I want to help feed the flowers.

A regular meditation practice is one of the highest forms of self-love.

True beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.

Always find a reason to dream, to hope, and to love.

I would never stay in office against the will of the people. My ethics and patriotism do not allow me to do so.

In my travels I am often asked if college stifles young writers. In my opinion, it doesn't stifle them enough.

When one has made his demands upon the Universal, he must be ready for surprises. Everything may seem to be going wrong, when in reality, it is going right.

We've focused a lot on visible evidence. We believe that a community needs to make the visible statement about who the community is.

Life's up and down from the time you get here to the time you leave.

Every human activity, except sin, can be done for God's pleasure, if you do it with an attitude of praise.

Mutual cowardice keeps us in peace.
