Everyone should have the right to marry. To make a commitment to love someone forever is a beautiful thing.

It is not so much where my motivation comes from but rather how it manages to survive.

Art is restoration: the idea is to repair the damages that are inflicted in life, to make something that is fragmented - which is what fear and anxiety do to a person - into something whole.

Once I was beset by anxiety but I pushed the fear away by studying the sky, determining when the moon would come out and where the sun would appear in the morning.

The colour blue - that is my colour - and the colour blue means you have left the drabness of day-to-day reality to be transported into - not a world of fantasy, it’s not a world of fantasy - but a world of freedom where you can say what you like and what you don’t like. This has been expressed forever by the colour blue, which is really sky blue.

I have kept a diary as long as I can remember, and drawings are really another kind of diary.

One must accept the fact that others don’t see what you do.
