I love drawings, so I've always enjoyed making drawings that exist on their own.

As one gets older one sees many more paths that could be taken. Artists sense within their own work that kind of swelling of possibilities, which may seem a freedom or a confusion.

Bend color names which should be made of neon or copper tubing. Place an object on a surface - trace the object - then bend the object - leaving some part of it attached.

When something is new to us, we treat it as an experience. We feel that our senses are awake and clear. We are alive.

I assumed that everything would lead to complete failure, but I decided that didn't matter – that would be my life.

I don't feel I have to share everything.

I was heavily influenced by Andy Kaufman and Steven Wright.

We're using our creativity to learn how to work with Divine Spirit, how to come into harmony with life around us.

Christianity is not being weighed in the balance and found wanting. It's being tried, found difficult and rejected!

I don't want to be remembered. As long as my kids remember me, I'd rather be forgotten by everybody else.

Americans understand that one of our great national strengths is innovation. Great innovators - Benjamin Franklin, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and others - are household names.

We cannot take a step toward the heavens. God crosses the universe and comes to us.
