I can't work completely out of my imagination. I must put my foot in a bit of truth; and then I can fly free.

Artists today think of everything they do as a work of art. It is important to forget about what you are doing - then a work of art may happen.

I have a little bit of extra testosterone, and it's good to put it to work when I can.

I surrendered to a world of my imagination, reenacting all those wonderful tales my father would read aloud to me. I became a very active reader, especially history and Shakespeare.

What the imagination seizes as beauty must be truth.

I don't really have studios. I wander around around people's attics, out in fields, in cellars, anyplace I find that invites me.
