"I have always been interested in the shapes of the rocks. They are so strong and yet so delicate."

"I don't want to be a symbol. I want to be a painter."

"I have to be myself. I can't be anyone else."

"I don't think I'm any different from anybody else. I just happen to be an artist."

"I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life – and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do."
