When I create art, it's like holding hands with God.

I was a Catholic boy, I went to church every Sunday. A church has a certain magic and mystery for a child. It still shows in how I arrange things. It's always little altars.

I always thought I was good. That's why it was so frustrating when other people didn't agree.

I want to see something I've never seen before.

I am obsessed with beauty. I want everything to be perfect, and of course it isn’t. And that’s a tough place to be because you’re never satisfied.

I see things like they've never been seen before. Art is an accurate statement of the time in which it is made.

I played around with the flowers and the lighting, so that was a good way to educate myself
