Warmth isn't what minimalists are thought to have.

Sometimes I think creativity is magic; it's not a matter of finding an idea, but allowing the idea to find you.

A lot of my works deal with a passage, which is about time. I don't see anything that I do as a static object in space. It has to exist as a journey in time.

I probably have fundamentally antisocial tendencies. I never took one extracurricular activity. I just failed utterly at that level. Part of me still rebels against that.

To fly we have to have resistance.

An artist fights to retain the integrity of a work so that it remains a strong, clear vision. Art is and should be the act of an individual willing to say something new, something not quite familiar.

Our lives are given meaning by our actions-accomplishments made while we are "here" that extend beyond our own time.

If we forget what used to be, then we’ve lost an ability to really be sensitive to our surroundings.

You have to let the viewers come away with their own conclusions. If you dictate what they should think, you've lost it.

I didn't have anyone to play with so I made up my own world.

OK, it was black, it was below grade, I was female, Asian American, young, too young to have served. Yet I think none of the opposition in that sense hurt me.

In the big scheme of things, a little love is all we need

When I put something on, and I stand up much straighter, that's when I love to wear clothes.

One can believe intellectually in the efficacy of prayer and never do any praying.

My children are the most important thing in my life.

I think there are stores laid up in our human nature that our understandings can make no complete inventory of.

I developed a sense of self before moving to crazy Hollywood, which was really important.

It's up to the parents to watch their kids and make sure their kids aren't doing any crazy drugs. I always blame the parents. When their kids are doing something crazy, I blame the parents.

People find meaning and redemption in the most unusual human connections.

A calm environment is for after I finish work.

Continued work and application form my soul's nourishment. So soon as I commenced to rest and relax I should cease to live.
