I have always attempted to create images that deliver the maximum amount of information about the subject.

All the fingerprint paintings are done without a grid.

Never let anyone define what you are capable of by using parameters that don’t apply to you.

If you're overwhelmed by the size of a problem, break it down into smaller pieces.

The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work.

While photography is the easiest medium in which to be competent, it is the hardest in which to develop an idiosyncratic personal vision.

Inspiration is for amateurs.

Ease is the enemy of the artist. When things get too easy, you're in trouble.

I always thought that one of the reasons why a painter likes especially to have other painters look at his or her work is the shared experience of having pushed paint around.

The thing that interests me about photography, and why it's different from all other media, is that it's the only medium in which there is even the possibility of an accidental masterpiece.

Sculpture occupies real space like we do... you walk around it and relate to it almost as another person or another object.

Love rekindles lose hope.

Expectations create and shape reality.

It often takes a period of time before what God has done in the spiritual world manifests in the physical world.

God holds us in the untamed moments too.

I say I am stronger than fear.

If I retire doing the character, I don't think the character has to retire. There will still be caricatures of Elvira. You know, Dracula still works, and he's dead.

I'm a huge fur fan; it's no secret to anyone anymore.

You have to interpret what's hot to make it work on yourself. If tweed suits are in, but you're not a suit kind of girl, wear the jacket with jeans and a pair of Converses.

It's nice to be playing a character who's never had a live-action version before.

Logic is a feeble reed, friend.
