You have to understand how the human eye behaves when it views a scene for the first time. Work with that knowledge, and your paintings will have more drama and will evoke strong reactions.

The person viewing your work has no idea what the scene really looked like, nor do they care.

When we look at a painting, listen to a piece of music, read a novel, or watch a movie we are taking in the artist's composition. The composition is the totality of the work.

A painting with a message does not happen by accident. It happens when you place elements in their order of importance.

The theme, or harmony, of a painting can be created by any one of its visual elements. A single colour... repetition of shapes... Light can be a theme.

Artists need not meet any standards to practice their craft... Virtually every other occupation requires some sort of license, union membership or something that says you are qualified.

Put a symbol, or language of some sort, in a painting and it will be noticed by the viewer whether or not they can read that particular language.

The difficult part of the process is the long exploration and discovery of your own soul and living with the results.

That a viewer does not see what the artist intended does not make the composition a failure... In reality all artists speak first to themselves and then to an audience.

Being true to oneself more often leads one toward success rather than away from it.

The way we see is critical to understanding how others will read our compositions.

We are supposed to write poetry to keep the gods alive.

I really do not make deals.

We offer love to our customers. And in return, we receive the finest smiles. And even if we cannot return their affection, at least we can offer a rose.

It doesn't matter what age you are. You can look sexy and feel great, and that doesn't have to be a gift only for the young. It can be a gift for any age, even the old, whatever that is nowadays.

You have to learn to play with what you've got.

I've never lost my cool. Even in love affairs. If you have Plan B and Plan C, you are all the time relaxed.

You really can't turn on TLC without seeing us.

Actually, I only left twice. I left then, and then rejoined literally two years later for Going For The One.

I don't mess around with my subconscious

There is a blueprint for every accomplishment-all we need to do is to know how to follow it. Trial and error is ridiculous after the truth has once been established.
