I hope the time will never come when I shall feel satisfied. To reach the goal of one's ambitions must be tragic.

I search for the realness, the real feeling of a subject, all the texture around it... I always want to see the third dimension of something... I want to come alive with the object.

Believe in yourself and believe in love. Love something.

Painting to me is constant searching. I can see what I want, but I can't get there, and yet you have to be open enough that if it goes another way, then let it go that way.

Most artists look for something fresh to paint; frankly I find that quite boring. For me it is much more exciting to find fresh meaning in something familiar.

I think one's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes.

I don't think that there is anything that is really magical unless it has a terrifying quality.

If you clean it up, get analytical, all the subtle joy and emotion you felt in the first place goes flying out the window.

Perfection in asana is achieved when the effort to perform it becomes effortless and the infinite being within is reached.

I've made some great movies. 'Risky Business' still stands up. It's timeless. They study that film in film school.

Ah, if only there were two of me, she thought, one who spoke and the other who listened, one who lived and one who watched, how I would love myself! I would envy no one.

To confess ignorance is often wiser than to beat about the bush with a hypothetical diagnosis.
