One of my problems is to find the self.

I am seeking for the bridge which leans from the visible to the invisible through reality.

Art is creative for the sake of realization, not for amusement... for transfiguration, not for the sake of play.

The important thing is first of all to have a real love for the visible world that lies outside ourselves as well as to know the deep secret of what goes on within ourselves.

My figures come and go, suggested by fortune or misfortune. I try to fix them divested of their apparent accidental quality.

Painting constantly appeared to me as the one and only possible achievement.

There is nothing I hate more than sentimentality.

What are you? What am I? Those are the questions that constantly persecute and torment me and perhaps also play some part in my art.

Space, and space again, is the infinite deity which surrounds us and in which we are ourselves contained.

Height, width, and depth are the three phenomena which I must transfer into one plane to form the abstract surface of the picture, and thus to protect myself from the infinity of space.

The stronger and more intense my desire becomes to capture and record that which is unsayable, the more tightly my mouth stays shut.

A gifted person who is born in the world can unleash distinctive qualities about him or herself if he or she is confident enough to reveal his or her own strengths towards everyone.

I get a little itchy if I don't have some control.

Time moves on but Barbara Hershey's doing good and John Heard, they're all people working. I know there were a couple of kids in that movie who I used who have been in other movies since Beaches.

One U.S. hit single and a hit T Shirt in 1985 does not a celebrity make.

What is good hair? It can be anything to anyone. Good hair is healthy hair, whatever you perceive that to be.

I need to finish this scarf/shawl/blanket thing so I can start something for Emma- a hat, maybe, or a sweater for her stuffed elephant.

The one reason people don't take dance seriously is because a lot of choreographers don't take dance seriously.

God is everywhere and in everything and without Him we cannot exist.

Eternal blessings crown my earliest friend, And round his dwelling guardian saints attend.

I also want to apologize to my fans, to the kids, everyone who's affected by the situation me and my wife are in.
