The beauty of an art project is that you cannot always measure the impact, but one day it can become clear.

Any day above ground is a good one.A woman's beauty is her inherent ability to better a man in every way.My father, now in heaven, is the watcher of birds. And his eye is on his sparrow.God, in his great silence, is still there. Of that I haven't a single doubt.Music is the balm that heals the ache of a forlorn star.

One cannot become a saint when one works sixteen hours a day.

I should die any day now. I came here to die. But I want to leave behind my art. Art is the expression of oneself.

Art rises above and beyond the issues of the day. It reunites what has been rent asunder, not along national or religious lines, but along individual, human ones. It heals, redefines goals, and strengthens the resolve to move on, to rebuild, to reconstruct. However obtuse human behavior is in other arenas, art, if not suborned, can clarify, put into perspective and re-inspire.

My private measure of success is daily. If this were to be the last day of my life would I be content with it? To live in a harmonious balance of commitments and pleasures is what I strive for.
