I already know what things look like - I don't want description. People believe in appearances, and I don't believe in appearances at all.

Trust that little voice in your head that says 'Wouldn't it be interesting if...'; And then do it.

I believe in the imagination. What I cannot see is infinitely more important than what I can see.

I am an expressionist and by that I mean that I'm not a photographer or a writer or a painter or a tap dancer, but rather someone who expresses himself according to his needs.

Don’t try to be an artist. Find the thing within you that needs to be expressed. You might find it is art.

Even in the deepest love relationship - when lovers say 'I love you' to each other - we don't really know what we're saying, because language isn't equal to the complexity of human emotions.

Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be.

Art is really whispering, not shouting.

In the West, people tend to look at life as spectators, but in the East, people are the thing.

The majority of photographers focus on the obvious. They believe and accept what their eyes tell them, and yet eyes know nothing.

All good work has magic in it, and addresses the mind in a subtle way.

Marriage is the best compromise between nature and culture.

Silence is a language in itself. Perhaps the loudest and most beautiful of them all!

The goal is to avoid mediocrity by being prepared to try something and either failing miserably or triumphing grandly.

Art is only a means to life, the life more abundant. It merely points the way.

The system should treat all user input as sacred.

You know what they say, the high trees get the wind.

I've learned a tremendous amount from Oprah.

The fact that cartoons are reproduced doesn't mean anything to me as far as whether they are "real art" or not.

I'm always doing what I can to look for and just feel out funny things that are happening in the scene and improvise off of them.

Take the tale in your teeth, then, and bite till the blood runs, hoping it's not poison.
