You must create your own world. I am responsible for my world.

When you are doing a piece you are with it. You don't want to wait until next week, when experience will have given you something else.

Character is the architect of the being.

You take a painting, you have a white, virginal piece of canvas that is the world of purity, and then you put your imagery on it, and you try to bring it back to the original purity.

I still want to do my work. I still want to do my livingness. And I have lived. I have been fulfilled. I recognized what I had, and I never sold it short. And I ain't through yet.

I always wanted to show the world that art is everywhere, except it has to pass through a creative mind.

Another thing about creation is that every day it is like it gave birth, and it's always kind of innocent and refreshing. So it's always virginal to me, and it's always a surprise.
