It's no good saying I wished I could go out more, because I can't. But I don't bother about it too much.
My brushes, my cameras, and my willingness to use them.
I remind myself that traveling through life as an artist requires one to distill things slowly. To be inquisitive, inventive, and patient - a lot of things get discarded along the way. It's a little like boiling sea water to get at the salt.
I like routine. It enables me to improvise.
Music has always been important to me. Rhythm, in particular, features in most of the things I do. I stumbled recently upon an old notebook in which I'd written, 'Touch, timing and timbre. . . keys to the heart. ' That just about says it all.
My paintings have an ongoing dialogue with photography. There are many painters who would say the same, I'm sure. The difference is that I'm thinking more about the temporal aspect of photography, rather than the visual.
I don't have a favorite place to see art. I like to encounter it anywhere, museum, gallery, home, studio, street. . . I do prefer to see good art, when I see art, but it doesn't matter where I see it.
Lord Krishna. . . proclaims Self-realization, true wisdom, as the highest branch of all human knowledge-the king of all sciences, the very essence of dharma ("religion")-for it alone permanently uproots the cause of man's threefold suffering and reveals to him his true nature of Bliss. Self-realization is yoga or "oneness" with truth-the direct perception or experience of truth by the all-knowing intuitive faculty of the soul.
Human beings are the only creatures who blush - or who need to.
I can definitely take more off my world record - a lot more. I have no doubt about that. I'm by no means putting pressure on myself, it's just the belief I have in myself. . . . . . I'm not going to limit myself by nominating times or anything like that. I never thought I'd do 14:34 and I did. I thought I'd maybe do 14:38 or 14:39 that day, and I went nearly five seconds quicker so I don't want to limit the possibilities
I have come finally to a simple philosophy of work. I enjoy what I do and do the best I can. That is enough.
