Part of the beauty of the show in a way is that he's not perfect but you can always count on him to do the right thing in a pinch. That's why he inspires people and inspires me.

Literature isn't a moral beauty contest. Its power arises from the authority and audacity with which the impersonation is pulled off the belief it inspires is what counts.

I'm very happy to hear that my work inspires writers and painters. It's the most beautiful compliment the greatest reward. Art should always be an exchange.

The art challenges the technology and the technology inspires the art.

A good painting to me has always been like a friend. It keeps me company comforts and inspires.
