Style is something you can use, and you can be like a magpie, just taking what you want.

I made a photograph of a garden in Kyoto, the Zen garden, which is a rectangle. But a photograph taken from any one point will not show, well it shows a rectangle, but not with ninety degree angles.

What an artist is trying to do for people is bring them closer to something, because of course art is about sharing. You wouldn't be an artist unless you wanted to share an experience, a thought.

If you see the world as beautiful, thrilling and mysterious, as I think I do, then you feel quite alive.

Listening is a positive act: you have to put yourself out to do it.

Faces are the most interesting things we see; other people fascinate me, and the most interesting aspect of other people - the point where we go inside them - is the face. It tells all.

The camera can't see space. It sees surfaces. People see space, which is much more interesting.

Art has to move you and design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus.

In art, new ways of seeing mean new ways of feeling; you can't divorce the two, as, we are now aware, you cannot have time without space and space without time.

I have no regrets. Every experience is the wrong-path is chance to turn to right route for the ultimate travel to the destined-land.

Sarita's been so busy exercising her brain that she hasn't had time for her heart, the poor thing.

If she had some level of theism, we might have a shared theological root from which I could shape holy words.

I must be lean & write & make worlds beside this to live in.

This is a test. This is only a test. If this was my actual life I'd be famous, rich, and thin.

Resignation is the courage of Christian sorrow.

Just as the DNA is a structure of double helical bonds, so your being is a structure of elements, not physical elements, but awarenesses that have come together in a ring of power.

Please think of me like an endangered species and just observe me quietly from far away. If you try to talk to me or touch me casually, I may get intimidated and bite you. So please be careful.

People doing what they love and doing it well always inspires me.

If Christ could make a complaint, it would be, "My bride never talks to me".
