I liked the idea of the words floating in space and the space behind it moving all the time, ever changing.

I like contrasting between black and white and color.

I know where the mistakes are. Nothing is perfect and I understand that.

I try not to manipulate reality... What will happen, will happen. Let things be themselves.

I like the work hanging free in the frame. I don't like too much frame around it but I like a little breathing space around the piece.

I like working late at night and then going into the house and sitting down and watching a movie and then going to sleep.

I had always worked. I always had part-time jobs.

I relied mainly on other artists, who I think are smarter than critics, any critics or curators or anybody like that. They really know.

And we live in a kind of realm of language and words and so forth. So we can sort of relate to them. They don't exist without us. We create words.

Art was something that I was really interested in, probably more so than writing or anything else.

Developing your own style became something very interesting, very important to me.

Shadowmane sighed as well. :We had better do what this Topaz commands. Unicorns are jerks when they don’t get their way.:

Weep no more lady weep no more Thy sorrow is in vain For violets plucked the sweetest showers Will ne'er make grow again.

A closed mouth gathers no foot.

Love is not a contract between two narcissists.

Sometimes to think about why some institutions are stable, it's interesting to go one generation back and look at the author of that stability.

I describe incidents which may or may not have happened but which are true.

It's exciting; I don't know whether I'm going to win or not. I think I am. I do know I'm ready for the job. And, if not, that's just the way it goes.

The mindset of a champion is that I put myself in a certain situation to win, I don't play to lose, I dont prepare to lose, I hate second place and I definitely don't like silver.

I can't write, I can't paint, I don't compose.

It becomes increasingly easy, as you get older, to drown in nostalgia.
