I love Christmas tree bulbs, and I started putting them in my paintings. You've got to plug this painting in, and it's got a rig in the back, so that each one can be replaced if it burns out.

Sometimes you get the best light from a burning bridge.

Put every light you have on a dimmer. Because after a certain age, we can play with the lighting and set it on how you look best on it. It's cheaper than plastic surgery.

It's better to burn brightly for half as long than to be a dim lingering light.

To me, lighting really sets the mood for a room. A 40 watt bulb in a cheap lamp is the same as a 40 watt bulb in an expensive one.

Sometimes the best lighting of all is a power failure.

I have a fireplace in my kitchen that I light every night, no matter what.

I wanted to deal with light directly rather than with paint.

I spend far too much time on eBay buying lamps and upholstery remnants.

I love vintage, but it's so expensive now.
