l photograph what l do not wish to paint and l paint that which l cannot photograph.

I would photograph an idea rather than an object, a dream rather than an idea.

Of course, there will always be those who look only at technique, who ask 'how', while others of a more curious nature will ask 'why'. Personally, I have always preferred inspiration to information.

A camera alone does not make a picture. To make a picture you need a camera, a photographer and above all a subject. It is the subject that determines the interest of the photograph.

When I saw I was under attack from all sides, I knew I was on the right track.

My works were designed to amuse, annoy, bewilder, mystify and inspire reflection.

To me, a painter, if not the most useful, is the least harmful member of our society.

Nature does not create works of art. It is we, and the faculty of interpretation peculiar to the human mind, that see art.

To create is divine, to reproduce is human.

I photograph the things that I do not wish to paint, the things which already have an existence.

I have been accused of being a joker. But the most successful art to me involves humor.

What's done is done. What's gone is gone. One of life's lessons is always moving on. It’s okay to look back to see how far you’ve come but keep moving forward.

To serve is beautiful, but only if it is done with joy and a whole heart and a free mind.

Difficulties of life are valuable opportunities for self-discovery.

The test of a man or woman's breeding is how they behave in a quarrel.

Books and friends should be few but good.

The American Dream is that any man or woman, despite of his or her background, can change their circumstances and rise as high as they are willing to work.

Auditioning is extremely bizarre. Just being an actor is extremely bizarre, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

I think I've finally learned to stop worrying about how big the gaps are between my novels' publication.

The birds they sangat the break of day.Start again!!I heard them say

I'm a perfectionist, so it's hard for me to just accept that that I can't keep working until it's perfected. But I'm learning, I'm growing as a human in that way.
