If we forget what used to be, then we’ve lost an ability to really be sensitive to our surroundings.

Sometimes I think creativity is magic; it's not a matter of finding an idea, but allowing the idea to find you.

A lot of my works deal with a passage, which is about time. I don't see anything that I do as a static object in space. It has to exist as a journey in time.

I probably have fundamentally antisocial tendencies. I never took one extracurricular activity. I just failed utterly at that level. Part of me still rebels against that.

To fly we have to have resistance.

An artist fights to retain the integrity of a work so that it remains a strong, clear vision. Art is and should be the act of an individual willing to say something new, something not quite familiar.

Our lives are given meaning by our actions-accomplishments made while we are "here" that extend beyond our own time.

You have to let the viewers come away with their own conclusions. If you dictate what they should think, you've lost it.

I didn't have anyone to play with so I made up my own world.

OK, it was black, it was below grade, I was female, Asian American, young, too young to have served. Yet I think none of the opposition in that sense hurt me.

To me, the American Dream is being able to follow your own personal calling. To be able to do what you want to do is incredible freedom.

You can predict anything in this world but not the nature's behaviour

Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice, and is never the result of selfishness.

Do you find it difficult to forgive one who has wronged you? Then you will find it difficult to get to heaven.

We face an enemy that is brutal. There is no negotiation with these people. You can't try to talk reason into these totalitarians.

I can't play my songs on the smaller harp. I have a Celtic harp. I can't do the key changes.

I'm a huge fan of dance cardio because it goes by really quick.

They banned DDT, not because it was necessarily bad, but because it was a great way to help the population control.

Greatness doesn’t come from what you do, but from who you are.

Indeed, none but the Deity can tell what is good luck and what is bad before the returns are all in.

Don't let anyone rob you of hope.
