Creativity is the answer. I always prefer the creative solution to an expensive solution.

The solution often turns out more beautiful than the puzzle.

If you're not an optimist, forget being an artist.

I just like to choose projects that will allow me as an artist to make my art.

If I have an opportunity to do something safe or something challenging, I'll often choose the latter. Sometimes, the objective is to submerge my viewpoint with the artist.

I'm a trained engineer, so I'm conditioned to come up with a right answer to a difficult question, but when it comes to art, there is no definite answer because it's so subjective.

The solutions all are simple - after you have arrived at them. But they're simple only when you know already what they are.

What I taught myself was that in any problem you get, you've got to come up with an innovative, brilliant, kind of unusual, stunning solution.

The best solutions are often simple, yet unexpected.

If you paint, write, do mosaics, knit - if it's solving that part of your brain saying, 'I need to do this,' you've won.
