If I'm going through something, I paint through it. It's very physical. I'm writing, I'm thinking, I'm meditating, I'm moving, I'm jumping off ladders, and it's therapeutic.

Sometimes I'm inspired by a certain part of my life - I'm thinking about a place and I'll mix the colors from memory.

For me, the canvas is an abstract interpretation of a wall. It's a piece of art with its own history, one that alludes to the passage of time and to the theater of life.

The walls around us bear witness to lives past and present.

My work is an exploration of the self. I've always been concerned with how I'm living and how that reflects in the painting.

When I was young I was constantly reading walls; I took in everything written on walls, from love messages to political messages. It was my hobby and became my art.

I think artists should define themselves. They should speak about their work and how it relates to society and what's going on in the world.

I have too much energy, even for myself. I'm lucky to have something that focuses me.

When you hold a grudge, you want someone else’s sorrow to reflect your level of hurt but the two rarely meet.

Mobs have passions, not brains.

The kind of acting that's wholly literary or cerebral is wrong. It's useless for me to have actors so much in their heads that they can't be organic.

I think the best thing a parent can do, when raising a child, is simply get out of their way.

I suppose it's nice to have some surprise in life and to surprise yourself in life and see what else you can do.

Constant repetition carries conviction.

Why set your heart on a piece ofearth,seek out the source which shines forever.

Belief in limits creates limited people

I would like Israel to be a Jewish state, and therefore not to annex over 2 million Palestinians who live in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to Israel, which will make Israel a bi-national state.
