I paint what I see, not what a camera would see.

Not everybody is going to love what you do, but you have to be yourself, that's what's most important. Bring it as hard as you can.

My great love is my home county of Cornwall, I love to sit and watch people enjoying themselves on the beaches and in the harbour towns of Cornwall.

Art came fluidly, so I was able to teach myself many of the things I thought were important by copying and mimicking my artistic idols.

I studied for my degree in London and consequently ended up spending five years away from Cornwall. I deliberately moved away from the coast to experience a different way of life.

I have lived in Cornwall from the age of 4, so I have always been aware of the artistic heritage that the county has. I feel very proud to be able to connect to this.

I have improved the way in which I paint. The colours are cleaner and there is more energy in the brush work.

The important thing isn't that your technically great, I think it's the power of your expression.

A man may go to heaven without health, without riches, without honors, without learning, without friends; but he can never go there without Christ.

Speak with your own voice and be as unique as you possibly can.

The most amazing thing to me about the sea is the tide. A harbour like St. Ives is totally transformed in a very short space of time by the arrival or departure of the sea.

Never settle for being ordinary, you're made whole in God, you're uniquely perfect. Made to love and be loved.

Real change is slow, hard, and imperceptible.

There is a lot of unhappiness in this world. Try not to feed it.

Every thing has changed but my mind never.

Whining is a virus, a lethal, infectious, epidemic disease.

A lot of people say, 'AC/DC - that's the band with the little guy who runs around in school shorts!'

There is a difference between having access to information and having the savvy it takes to interpret it.

Americans are not brought up with meter. They're not brought up with poetry. If you try to get them to recite, they're too embarrassed.

The future is like heaven-everyone exalts it but no one wants to go there now.

There can be no perfect democracy curtailed by color, race, or poverty. But with all we accomplish all, even peace.
