A picture must possess a real power to generate light and for a long time now I've been conscious of expressing myself through light or rather in light.
I respect the state workers and I respect their unions, but we simply can't afford to pay benefits and pensions that are out of line with economic reality.
I will always remember and we must all remember that Democrats are our political rivals, not our enemies, and they deserve our respect.
When an artist leaves his work to amuse people, he loses his time and their respect. If people are to be amused by artists, it must be by employing them in their legitimate occupation.
I see my studio like a laboratory, where I work like an investigator - it's almost forensic. I love the discovery process in painting.
I love all dots. I am married to many of them. I want all dots to be happy. Dots are my brothers. I am a dot myself.
For anyone who doesn't have that connection with Mozart, I urge those people to go and find some of his music, because it can quite genuinely make you just glad to be alive.
