My inner motivation is to make the world a better place; the bad guy and the good guy think the same thing.

Our actions are the ground we walk on.

I can achieve that by personally relating the words that I am saying to something I have known in my life.

If you stand too close to a painting - all you see are patches of color, if you stand too far back, you can't see any of the detail.

I'm a spiritual person, I'm an America, I'm a Jew, and all of those things influence every breath I take, everywhere I go.

I try to get that across in the work, to try to, if I'm lucky, to make this world a little bit better for all of us before I check out. And that's if I'm lucky, I don't always get to have that privilege but I try always.

I want to protect everyone in the world, and I believe the way to protect them is to stop the killing universally. Create opportunity and better systems of living and existing, quality of life to humanity all over the world.
