I couldn't get used to the community and social life of a theatrical set designer.

Prodigy only feeds on prodigy, fantasy on fantasy.

I call prodigy all that is invented, all that begins to exist from the second it is conceived, it is the process not the results, the principle and not the fruits.

All I know is that mine was a completely new theory about art, a new approach that made the pictures appear just like life does.

I haven't even ever wanted to distort. I isolate and represent.

I always use given and simple elements, I don't want to add or subtract anything.

An audience is perhaps unnecessary to the soul-searching mystic, but it is vital to the magician, the maker of prodigies.

My themes are derived from current events, from familiar situations, from daily life, because I never actively intervene against the object, I can feel the magic of its presence.

I never tried to stage, to fabricate an image.

I know how pathetically inadequate my medium [painting] is, but unfortunately I dispose of no other.

My life provides me with these images that become expressions of my daily experience.

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.

The reason that the American Navy does so well in wartime is that war is chaos, and the Americans practice chaos on a daily basis.

It all started when Dam went missing.

Remember Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did but she did it backwards and in high heels.

Someone asked me yesterday if Dracula met Saruman and there was a fight, who would win. I just looked at this man. What an idiotic thing to say. I mean, really, it was half-witted.

Swimming is a confusing sport, because sometimes you do it for fun, and other times you do it to not die. And when I'm swimming, sometimes I'm not sure which one it is.

When the people call Earth 'Mother,' they take with love and with love give back so that all may live.

The heart hid still in the dark, hard as the Philosophers Stone.

I'm a historian in my own mind.

If there's one thing I do know, it's that I'm living my dream. Estoy viviendo mi sueño! I feel like I'm on top of the world right now.
