Despite what people might think, I'm not interested in being dark all the time. I'm actually searching for some kind of light, and I'm always very happy when I can achieve that.

The dark is light enough.

With whatever talent and resources I have, I'm trying to bring light to penetrate the darkness many people feel.

Turn up the lights. I don't want to go home in the dark.

I don't personally see my work as being dark. What interests me is a balance between light and dark.

When I lament and darken over my diminishments, I accomplish nothing. It's better to sit at the window all day, pleased to watch birds, barns, and flowers.

I don't try and be dark, but there are obviously darker emotions that I want to capture sometimes.

By appreciating the darkness when you design the light, you create much more interesting environments that truly enhance our lives.

My goal would be trying to bring some light to the world, which is often a dark and violent place.

I prefer the night to the day and always stay up very late. Darkness is more peaceful, and I don't like sunshine - it hurts my eyes. When I used to live in more communal circumstances, I had to wait until everyone had gone to bed before I had the peace to write, and I still find I can get on with my writing much better at night.
