My painting represents the victory of the forces of darkness and peace over the powers of light and evil.

Art is Art. Everything else is everything else.

The more an artist works the more there is to do.

The art of lighting the stage consists of putting light where you want it and taking it away from where you don't want it.

An artist who dedicates his life to art, burdens his art with his life, and his life with his art.

You can never go back to a specific moment. That's why it's important to live in the present and not the past. Don't let foolish memories get in the way of the makings of new ones.

A leader should never compare his technical skills with his employee's.

Man is the maker of his own destiny, and I therefore ask you to become makers of your own destiny.

One hand washes the other.

Art is no crime. It's every artist's responsibility to make art that is meaningful

The life we have on Earth must have spontaneously generated itself. It must therefore be possible for life to generate spontaneously elsewhere in the universe.

If you can raise the level of effort and performance in those around you, you are officially a leader.
