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.

No man should tell a lie unless he is shrewd enough to recognize the time for renouncing it, if and when it comes, and knows how to renounce it gracefully.

Life is the sum of your choices.

Work grows out of other work, and there are very few eureka moments

In many cases, our need to wonder about or be told what God wants in a certain situation is nothing short of a clear indication of how little we are engaged in His work.

I'm having the time of my life figuring out this next move.

You should only be doing that thing that lights up your soul.

Nuclear war would really set back cable.

She believes in something. It is an old-fashioned idea

How can I, that girl standing there, My attention fix On Roman or on Russian Or on Spanish politics?
