I realised that if I did what I wanted to do, it would work.

Not everybody is going to love what you do, but you have to be yourself, that's what's most important. Bring it as hard as you can.

My great love is my home county of Cornwall, I love to sit and watch people enjoying themselves on the beaches and in the harbour towns of Cornwall.

Art came fluidly, so I was able to teach myself many of the things I thought were important by copying and mimicking my artistic idols.

I studied for my degree in London and consequently ended up spending five years away from Cornwall. I deliberately moved away from the coast to experience a different way of life.

I have lived in Cornwall from the age of 4, so I have always been aware of the artistic heritage that the county has. I feel very proud to be able to connect to this.

I have improved the way in which I paint. The colours are cleaner and there is more energy in the brush work.

The important thing isn't that your technically great, I think it's the power of your expression.

A man may go to heaven without health, without riches, without honors, without learning, without friends; but he can never go there without Christ.

Speak with your own voice and be as unique as you possibly can.

The most amazing thing to me about the sea is the tide. A harbour like St. Ives is totally transformed in a very short space of time by the arrival or departure of the sea.

Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

Only a person with a Best Seller mind can write Best Sellers.

Hillary Clinton could use one of these Apple Watches. She could hook it up to her secret email account. If you want to contact Hillary, she's at [email protected].

If the referee happens to be in the way you just yell, 'move or I'll break your ankles!' which I used to do with referees. Some refs will stop and watch the fight it drives you crazy.

You can perceive life as tragic, or you can laugh at the tragedy of it and that turns it into comedy. It doesn't change the circumstances.

They say revenge is a dish best eaten cold, but for most people, by the time it's ready to eat, they just don't fancy it any more.

I make a composition with a white and a black, and make adjustments when the white has become a paper and the black a shadow.

Every mob, in its ignorance and blindness and bewilderment, is a League of Frightened Men that seeks reassurance in collective action.

People say you have to travel to see the world. Sometimes I think that if you just stay in one place and keep your eyes open, you're going to see just about all that you can handle.

I like going to France, because no one knows who I am.
