“How did I come to be an artist ? Endless curiosity, observation, research - and a great amount of joy in the thing”
“No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.”
“Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose.”
“Life... It's a great and terrible and short and endless thing. None of us come out of it alive.”
“Not anyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere.”
“This is my one and only life, and it is a great and terrible and short and endless thing, and none of us come out of it alive”
