I like to look at 'A Place in the Sun' every now and get inspired by it.

A barrier for me - which has been both a strength and a weakness - has been my taste. The kind of things I'm interested in aren't always mainstream.

It's very scary to turn things down, but a project has to really mean something to me. I'm not interested in making a lot of money.

I've gone for long stretches without working. I remember many times peeking into my checkbook to see if any money was left.

Art used to be made in the name of faith. We made cathedrals, we made stained-glass windows, we made murals.

My religion is my most precious possession. Except for it, I could easily have become excessively occupied with industry. Sharing responsibility for church work has been a vital counterbalance in my life.

God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things which should be changed and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.

I never heard about tefillin. I was unfamiliar with the deep history and ritual of being an Orthodox Jew. Before you get out of bed, you say a prayer, and then you get out of bed, say another one.
