“Intention involves such a small fragment of our consciousness and of our mind and of our life.”

“Simplicity is not an objective in art, but one achieves simplicity despite one’s self by entering into the real sense of things.”

“The only thing I feel like I know is that I want to make things. Other
than that, I feel like I don’t know. So the problem is in trying to make
something without knowing what I want. […] I think it’s all to do
with wanting to communicate. I mean, I think I want to make
things because I want to communicate with people, because I want to be
loved, because I want to express myself.”

“When I was a younger man, art was a lonely thing. No galleries, no
collectors, no critics, no money. Yet, it was a golden age, for we all
had nothing to lose and a vision to gain. Today it is not quite the
same. It is a time of tons of verbiage, activity, consumption. Which
condition is better for the world at large I shall not venture to
discuss. But I do know, that many of those who are driven to this life
are desperately searching for those pockets of silence where we can root
and grow. We must all hope we find them.”
