I have no neighbours other than animals and Joshua Trees.

I don't like getting out when I could be painting. And when I'm painting, I don't want anybody else around.

A carrot is as close as a rabbit gets to a diamond.

I think Shakespeare is really the one. Words as music and music as words. Everything he wrote was good, which is really frightening.

I think people have had too much to think and ought to flex their magic muscles. It takes awhile to get oriented to what I do, but people seem to be able to hear it if they give it a chance. I'd never just want to do what everybody else did. I'd be contributing to the sameness of everything.

But I have been in some very beautiful churches, then I've looked outside and seen people starving to death.

Man has done a lot to make himself dangerous and animals get the worst of all of it. But then, man too is an animal.
