''An Artist should know no borders and not to fear what others may think of his or her work.'' 

''If you are sitting back and feeling content in your life, don't get too comfortable,

destiny will find you.''

''It takes a strong will just to get through life but keep in mind, there is no such thing as a free ride.''

''When I want to get in touch with myself I
 make my sculpture but then I realize
how little I know of myself and so 
the sculpture can become the

mirror of the self in thought.''

''The chances are that when you die there is no coming back, [and do you want too],

so live each day as it comes, 

this one might be your very last.''

''Why worry about seeing yourself as not being 'perfect', if you think that's how others see you you get another day to prove them wrong.''

''It is better to try to bring into reality your dreams than to live in your dreams.''

''What ever I do takes time

and yet it is always in the now.''

''If it walks on all fours

and it's back is facing the skies,

it will be eaten.''

''You have already failed in life if you sit back and do nothing in thinking you have
something to lose ...
sooner or later we all die so what have you
got to lose.''

''There is no running away from the fact that in our life time we will have to accept the consequence's for every thought and action we have and do ...

but don't let fear stop you, life is too short to let an emotion get in the way.''

''A man's belief is not for another man to judge for man has the freewill to chose his own god and if a man dies for his beliefs he may be wrong in that choice, but, I feel the real courage is in living in a world where all men are accepted as equal in their beliefs and I speak as a freethinker.''

''If you are walking the thin line always try to keep looking forward, never down and certainly
not over your shoulder,
because it is guaranteed others might
be trying to push you off.''

Speaking as an artist;

''Art is essentially a personal response to the visual world that the artist, and most do I feel try always to look from a deeper involvement as in trying to get into the soul of all things but it ends up as only the essence of things in imitating the exterior surface and then that deepens the mystery even more as to what's real ...

but without Art there would be no joy or torment in being alive for my Art has been my voice,  otherwise I would not have spoken.''

''You want people to listen to what you have
to say, 
hit them with a sledgehammer and then
you'll notice you have got their strict and undivided attention, maybe even with a smile on their face too.''

''If you are happy in what you are doing you will have an inner peace and if you are not,

you will always be in conflict with yourself.''

''If I was a dog I would be very happy in wagging my tail non-stop in thinking I would have no worries for my future with all the

'yes' people around.''

Just a thought;

''When you stop seeing things in your life as being the way to show you the things in your life then don't start to wobble ...

 now this can happen if you are wearing a yellow, blue, red

zig-zag striped jumpsuit with the words

''SUCH IS LIFE''

 printed in red on the back and doing the world tour of

'the worlds highest bungee jumps wish I was some place else sites'

in a 1950's school bus painted black, my good-self driving and Jack the 'Diablo' reading out loud the map of his mind

with the author and director taking notes for the movie

'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest'

and all singing ...

''and if that mocking bird won't sing, Mama's going to buy you a diamond ring''...

now this only happens when you stop seeing things in your life as the way to show you the things in your life

for eyes fail to see it and ears cannot hear it but the Mind

can discriminate itself from the very things that appear to

be outside itself without realising that it created these things and therefore all delusions become a state of the Mind

and firmly fixed and so we are no more than the activities of our Mind and fell into the Cuckoo's Nest ...

 There you are Jack .. thought I might find you here .. 

move over, the cuckoo calls ...''

''The imagination is the Matrix in which all mind-games are played out, it's how far we ourselves want to get involved that brings the reality into play ...

still, all thoughts will come into reality

sooner or later.''

''When I die I hope it will be another adventure I go on but nobody has come back here to tell, so it must be some bloody adventure or maybe they are in some kind of  
h[e]aven and it's possible this must
be hell[uva].''

''Today is the first day of my life and it very well could be the last day of my life ...

it is a 'groundhog' day.''
