I don't think that there is anything that is really magical unless it has a terrifying quality.

Most artists look for something fresh to paint; frankly I find that quite boring. For me it is much more exciting to find fresh meaning in something familiar.

If somehow I can, before I leave this earth, combine my absolutely mad freedom and excitement with truth, then I will have done something.

I think a person permeates a spot, and a lost presence makes the environment timeless to me, keeps an area alive. It pulsates because of that.

If it [talent] isn’t strong enough to take the gaff of real training, then it’s not worth much.

I don't think that there is anything that is really magical unless it has a terrifying quality.

I do an awful lot of thinking and dreaming about things in the past and the future - the timelessness of the rocks and the hills - all the people who have existed there.
