We are creatures like everything else in our world.

Every book is a unique experience.

You have to learn how to do each book. It's a different world, a different show.

I'm the expert when it comes to my paintings. I think all great painters have to have that confidence in what they are seeking and when they're getting there.

It took me a long time to stop thinking that someone else knew what a great painting was. I was never sure.

I wanted everybody to see a sunrise and be knocked out by the miracle of it, the world being created every morning.

I almost always see what I didn't achieve, to a smaller or greater extent.
