Thanks to my effort in the last 40 years, there has been more paper and film wasted.

I would photograph an idea rather than an object, a dream rather than an idea.

Of course, there will always be those who look only at technique, who ask 'how', while others of a more curious nature will ask 'why'. Personally, I have always preferred inspiration to information.

A camera alone does not make a picture. To make a picture you need a camera, a photographer and above all a subject. It is the subject that determines the interest of the photograph.

When I saw I was under attack from all sides, I knew I was on the right track.

My works were designed to amuse, annoy, bewilder, mystify and inspire reflection.

To me, a painter, if not the most useful, is the least harmful member of our society.

Nature does not create works of art. It is we, and the faculty of interpretation peculiar to the human mind, that see art.

To create is divine, to reproduce is human.

I photograph the things that I do not wish to paint, the things which already have an existence.

I have been accused of being a joker. But the most successful art to me involves humor.

It’s herding kittens. If kittens had a lot of guns and an overdose of neo-Libertarian property theory.

Why do we love the sea? It is because it has some potent power to make us think things we like to think.

I never saw any of my dad's stories. My mother said he had piles and piles of manuscripts.

Our whole educational problem suffers from a one-sided approach to the child who is to be educated, and from an equally one-sided lack of emphasis on the uneducatedness of the educator.

I think any athlete will tell you that season-ending losses stay with you for a long time. If you are one of the main reasons for a season-ending loss, it sticks with you longer.

There are certain qualities of light that blur the years.

I love the sound of the wind in the trees and the song of the birds and the shuffle in the leaves of my many woodland friends.

I am an only child and home-schooled, so I have no siblings or classmates.

So their combinations with themselves and with each other give rise to endless complexities, which anyone who is to give a likely account of reality must survey.

When I teach, I try to assign writers from whom I can learn.
