ULTIMATELY, literature is NOTHING but carpentry. With both you are working with reality, a MATERIAL just as hard as WOOD.

WITHOUT art, the crudeness of REALITY WOULD make the world UNBEARABLE.

When I was modelling, I spent half my life staring at thousands of PERFECT reflections. It got to a stage where I was LOSING all sense of reality - so after I QUIT modelling, I TOOK all the MIRRORS out of my house.

'Safe Harbor' is a state of MIND... it's the place - in REALITY or metaphor - to which one goes in TIMES of TROUBLE or WORRY. It can be a friendship, marriage, church, garden, beach, poem, prayer, or song.

PHOTOGRAPH the WORLD as it is. NOTHING's more INTERESTING than REALITY.

ILLUSION is an anodyne, bred by the GAP between WISH and REALITY.

FICTION is BASED on REALITY unless you're a FAIRYTALE ARTIST.

I THINK, to me, REALITY is BETTER than being FAKE.

We LIVE in a TIME of astounding technological advancements. There are deep-sea DRONES and live-streaming VIRTUAL REALITY.

NOTHING has EVER BECOME better by ignoring the REALITY.

A strong TEAM can TAKE any crazy vision and turn it into REALITY.

What I don't like so much is PEOPLE who - how do you say this? - who make judgments over the genre of reality like it's TELEVISION from the devil, and that's something that I don't like because I think everybody should WATCH what they like. It's a free world. It's a FORM of democracy. If you like it, watch. If you don't like it, don't watch.

INDEPENDENCE FEELS like a LUXURY, where the reality is that it's hard to survive financially for so many PEOPLE out there.

I'm a big fan of DREAMS. UNFORTUNATELY, dreams are our first casualty in life - people seem to GIVE them up, QUICKER than anything, for a 'reality.'

I'm HALF LIVING my LIFE between reality and FANTASY at all times.
