I look at the textures, surfaces, colors, and the individual objects in the painting. And then I wonder: what are the relationships among them? Those relationships are everything.

I wanted everybody to see a sunrise and be knocked out by the miracle of it, the world being created every morning.

Every book is a unique experience.

You have to learn how to do each book. It's a different world, a different show.

I like the computer! It's a gadget, and I love gadgets. But it's very complicated and I didn't think I'd have the time to learn.

We are creatures like everything else in our world.

People have their own ideas how about they should appear.

It took me a long time to stop thinking that someone else knew what a great painting was. I was never sure.

I'm the expert when it comes to my paintings. I think all great painters have to have that confidence in what they are seeking and when they're getting there.

I almost always see what I didn't achieve, to a smaller or greater extent.

Whoever said “Success is 80% Joy and 20% Hardwork” must have chased the latter 20% not ignoring the first 80%. Follow the Joy route and the power is already lost.

I can't really explain what it's like to be in love, but I feel like it's being comfortable. It's almost like having a best friend. It's a beautiful thing.

Gainfully unemployed, very proud of it, too.

Perhaps the single most important therapeutic credo that I have is that the unexamined life is not worth living.

The humblest star twinkles most in the darkest night.

I’m having a vacation and it’s so beautiful and maybe I’ll never get another film idea in my life.

I won't be having any more kids, though. Four is enough.

Each in the cell of himself is almost convinced of his freedom.

I'm going to wait til the midnight hour, that's when my love begins to shine.
