Creativity comes from accepting that you're not safe, from being absolutely aware, and from letting go of control. It's a matter of seeing everything - even when you want to shut your eyes.

I don't understand it any more than you do, but one thing I've learned is that you don't have to understand things for them to be.

We can't take any credit for our talents. It's how we use them that counts.

When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability... To be alive is to be vulnerable.

When I look at the galaxies on a clear night - when I look at the incredible brilliance of creation, and think that this is what God is like, then instead of feeling intimidated and diminished by it, I am enlarged . . . I rejoice that I am a part of it.

A good laugh heals a lot of hurts.

Art should communicate with as many people as possible.
