My ideas come, wh-pheww. And I draw. Just recently, when I'm searching for ideas for paintings and sculptures, I wait for ideas, and it's always visual.

I'm a creative guy, artistically with graphics.

It's the same with visual arts, you have some really cool, wonderful striking images that make you think and then again you have wonderful striking images that just take you away from the existing world for a second. And I like the latter a bit more.

At the age of 80, I'm becoming a visual artist. This could be my rebirth.

I want to bring drawing back to the basics, make it about the pleasure that it can afford and remove the notion that it's some kind of precious or difficult activity. It's another way of telling a story.

My fiction has been influenced by the visual arts, though not in obvious ways, it seems to me. I don't offer tremendous amounts of visual information in my work.

Make an empty space in any corner of your mind, and creativity will instantly fill it.

The more I see and know about life, the more ideas I have and the more I want to make art.

If you're an artist, you want to draw from real life; you want to draw from experiences, emotion, and it's something that a lot of musicians juggle with. I've always found it so fascinating.

Drawing was a cheap way for me to express myself. It gave a focus to my thinking and my life from a very early age.
