The world grows ever complex. More urban. Less peaceful.

Study the nature around you, but also within you.

Have courage to go your own way and fulfil the dreams that are unique and important to you.

People might consider you eccentric for being different, but this is good. Leaders and visionaries are not conformists afraid of standing out.

It is possible to be happy and successful by living on one’s own terms.

I like working among ‘creative clutter’. It gives me a sense of activity and achievement.

In the dream world, anything is possible. It requires a fertile imagination, and a desire to explore the half-light between the known and the unknown.

Only the present exists. The past is gone, and the future has not yet happened. There is only ever time present.

Water creates so much beauty, life and mystery.

Water is intrinsically linked to the mystery and excitement of discovering new worlds.

As a child I would play with such imagination that the ‘real’ world was never real at all. It was full of mystery, adventure and possibility.

I find it a bit sad that there is no photo of me hanging on the walls in the Berlin Museum at Checkpoint Charlie.

The limitation of the vlog format is that it may seem to give people enough, when they actually have no real autonomy.

The dancer's trembling heart must bring everything into harmony, from the tips of her shoes to the flutter of her eyelashes, from the ruffles of her dress to the incessant play of her fingers.

I feel like L.A. is more of a showcase, and Chicago is a pure comedy scene where you're doing comedy for comedy. You're doing comedy actually for the audience that's there.

There's nothing harder to stop than somebody who wants to believe a miracle.

Forgiveness is the key to inner peace because it is the mental technique by which our thoughts are transformed from fear to love.

I've always had the mentality of: work hard, get to bed early, focus - and let your work speak for itself.

For me a work of art must be an elevated interpretation of nature. The search for the ideal has been the purpose of my life. In landscape or seascape, I love above all the poetic motif.
