When I was growing up, my family was so poor we couldn't afford to pay attention.

I used to wonder what I was doing wrong. Now I know: just about everything.

If you have to beg someone to be in your life, they don't belong there.

Not telling everything you know is not the same as telling a lie.

The sun of liberty is set; you must light up the candle of industry and economy.

When our mind is calm, we’re better able to find peace of mind and live a joyful life.

The figure is still the only thing I have faith in in terms of how much emotion it's charged with and how much subject matter is there.

I really only ever go on sun holidays so in my experience I prepare myself for the beach.

Beauty is the brilliance of truth.

Don't stick your nose where someone can pull it off and eat it.

I have a reputation for being hermitlike. I'm not. I'm just obsessed with my work.
