"Where I was born and where and how I have lived is unimportant. It is what I have done with where I have been that should be of interest."

"I don't want to live in a world where I have to be careful about what I say or do."

"I have always been interested in the magic. The way it transforms everything."

"I have always been interested in the vastness of the desert. It is so big and empty, and yet it is so full of life."

"I found that I could say things with colors and shapes that I couldn't say any other way—things I had no words for."
