The idea of trying to create things that last - forever knowledge - has guided my work for a long time now.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Knowledge, learning, is an eternal thing.
Knowledge is exploding, so you need to commit yourself to a plan for lifelong learning.
What we have as artists is the immortalization opportunity that others don't have, because our work is lasting; it's there forever to view.
From things that have happened and from things as they exist and from all things that you know and all those you cannot know, you make something through your invention that is not a representation but a whole new thing truer than anything true and alive, and you make it alive, and if you make it well enough, you give it immortality.
The idea that I could push the envelope using dedication and research and endless curiosity has propelled me in my life's work.
The best thing that can come with success is the knowledge that it is nothing to long for.
If someone gave me the chance to create something, I put myself into it. I just want to try to do something that will last forever and that won't leave people saying, 'Gee, it could have been better, it could've been this, it could've been that.'
Artistically I am still a child with a whole life ahead of me to discover and create. I want something, but I won't know what it is until I succeed in doing it.
What I learned was the quality of continual reinvention.
Longevity in this business is about being able to reinvent yourself or invent the future.
