Making art is a lot about just seeing what happens if you put some energy into something.

It is very different when you age. The things that are significant, or what drives you, or the physical experience of being driven, changes over time.

Prior to my father's death, I was having a hard time committing to a career as an artist, but that's not because of who he was - it was because of who I am. It's true, though, that I felt I shouldn't compete with him, and that those feelings went away after he died.

Stained glass enabled the modern world.

When you get older, you're running out of time. You care more about trying to stay on the planet a little longer, so you can learn how to draw better!

Life really changes. And it gets lighter, for the most part. You tolerate yourself and others better.

In our family, there wasn't anything else besides art. Nothing else in the world existed. My father never spoke about going to a movie or listening to music, other than my mother's singing.
