To create something from nothing is one of the greatest feelings, and I would-I don't know, I wish it upon everybody. It's heaven.

The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.

Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will.

When you're at odds with yourself, it's hard to create. Sometimes the writing process is as easy as opening up the window and letting in the breeze. And sometimes it's like chiseling away at a block of granite with a pencil.

Creativity is a gift. It doesn't come through if the air is cluttered.

My thing is about following the accidental, more than trying to paint an accurate bowl of apples. I enjoy most following the paint. It leads me somewhere else. I think I enjoy just letting the magic unfold and letting the spirit of the paint tell me where we're going.
