Art is a tool by which society extends its perception.

Everything happens through relationships.

Your life moves in patterns toward things, and things that we achieve finally are part of this mosaic. I just think that we create our own fate.

Elvis Presley's music never meant anything to me. Mambo was the music I loved - it spoke to me.

I don't believe in selling art by transparencies. Art is a firsthand experience.
