There are very few people who do what I do.

You have to make thousands and thousands of drawings before an illustration is perfected.

Sculpture will last a lot longer than painting.

I was tired of illustration. You'd work so hard on a commission and it would go in to a magazine, and you'd turn the page and it was gone.

My goal is to make fine art, and fine art comes from the soul. If you have virtuosity and facility, you can take and create something of significance.

There is a connection between me and the collectors, and as admirers of the work they tell me about the differences the pieces are able to make in their lives on a daily basis.

I don't do commissions and I like the freedom to create what my heart or mind tells me to.

I create for artistic intent only and do everything from life.

The greatest success is creating whatever you want without conditions. I don't do commissions unless I really want to, because it's like having a job.

I'm always looking for the next challenge.

At any one time, I'll have 30 to 40 pieces going on in the studio, so this is not economically driven at all.

You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might also pray in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance.

I don't really remember my folks singing to us, but they read to us.

I think anybody with any intelligence sits down and sees Star Trek not a kids' show.

OH MY GOD! In Thailand, they've got the spiciest food I've ever had in my life!

If, at the end of the day, we need to raise taxes, we should raise taxes.

Although I'm living in California, I'm very proud to be British.
