If you see the world as beautiful, thrilling and mysterious, as I think I do, then you feel quite alive.

It's all right if you don't mind looking at the world from the point of view of a paralyzed Cyclops—for a split second.

I haven't stopped painting or drawing - I've just added another medium.

Being able to draw means being able to put things in believable space. People who don't draw very well can't do that.

Water in swimming pools changes its look more than in any other form its colour can be man-made and its dancing rhythms reflect not only the sky but, because of its transparency, the depth of the water as well. If the water surface is almost still and there is a strong sun, then dancing lines with the colours of the spectrum appear everywhere.

The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
