I am ridiculously old-fashioned.

I don't create blurs. Blurring is not the most important thing; nor is it an identity tag for my pictures.

Art is the highest form of hope.

It is a danger to wait around for an idea to occur to you. You have to find the idea.

A lot of different things had to come together over the years, accumulated experiences of a general and personal nature, before the idea and the decision were developed and then carried out.

I like everything that has no style: dictionaries, photographs, nature, myself and my paintings. (Because style is violent, and I am not violent.)

I would like to try to understand what is. We know very little, and I am trying to do it by creating analogies. Almost every work of art is an analogy.

All photographs are far more important than any painting.

Picturing things, taking a view, is what makes us human; art is making sense and giving shape to that sense. It is like the religious search for God.

I want pictorial content without sentiment, but I want it as human as possible

Abstract pictures are fictive models, because they make visible a reality that we can neither see nor describe, but whose existence we can postulate.

If evil had a laugh, she thought it would sound like his.

He took in the bubbles covering her and smiled. "I think that's enough.""Enough?""To get me clean." Taking one step forward, he slipped and slided up and down the length of her body.

My family said that I wanted to act even when I was a child living on a tea plantation in the jungle in India.

The Internet will save higher education, but it may kill your alma mater.

You can't stop suffering, you can't stop terrible things from happening, but you can bear witness... The least us reporters can do is go there and tell their stories.

Learn to commend thy daily acts to God, so shall the dry every-day duties of common life be steps to heaven, and lift they heart hither.

Snobs talk as if they had begotten their own ancestors.

If anyone asks how old I am, tell them it's none of their business!

Nature may reach the same result in many ways.

It is love alone that counts.
