We suffer pain, we hang tight to hope, we nurture expectations, we are plagued occasionally by fears, we are haunted by defeats and unrealized hopes . . . The hoplessness of which I speak is not limited.

I had chosen to use my work as a reflection of my values.

You don't have to become something that you aren't to become better than you are.

Generally, I tend to despise human behavior rather than human creatures.

The older we get the less afraid we are.

In my case, the body of work stands for itself... I think my work has been representative of me as a man.
