My work is through my emotions, so everything kind of goes together.

The quality of one's emotional life changes over the years, doesn't it? But the basic instincts and desires, greed and hope, seem to remain constant. In the larger scope of things, there's a sense of fulfillment to living a creative life. So I guess that's what keeps me going.

Arguably, there's an emotional side of life that I'm not always completely plugged into.

Life is a very emotional experience.

Through a long and painful process, I've learned that happiness is an inside job - not based on anything or anyone in the outer material world. I've become a different and better person - not perfect, but still a work in progress.

Emotions are the key to many aspects of life. They are precisely the elements that make human beings human. I think the fact that emotions have been reduced and put off to the side in intellectual work, particularly in the 20th Century, is tragic.

There is always an emotional element to anything that you make.

I create with my heart, so life and work inevitably intersect all too often.

I find the reality of our emotional lives interesting.

You don't have to work hard to bring emotions. It all just comes naturally, you're there living it.
