Everybody's got the potential for great good and great wrong in them, but it's the choices we make that define who we really are.

Beauty isn't what you see on TV or in magazine ads or even necessarily in art galleries. It's a lot deeper and a lot simpler than that. It's realizing the goodness of things, it's leaving the world a little better than it was before you got here. It's appreciating the inspiration of the world around you and trying to inspire others.

One expected growth, change; without it, the world was less, the well of inspiration dried up, the muses fled.

The trouble with advice is that it's usually something you don't want to hear.

When you're touched by magic, nothing's ever quite the same again. What really makes me sad is all those people who never have the chance to know that touch. They're too busy, or they just don't hold with make-believe, so they shut the door without really knowing it was there to be opened in the first place.

Life is like art. You have to work hard to keep it simple and still have meaning.

I've always been interested in the outsider.
