“What is meant here by saying that existence precedes essence? It means first of all, man exists, turns up, appears on the scene, and, only afterwards, defines himself. If man, as the existentialist conceives him, is indefinable, it is because at first he is nothing. Only afterward will he be something, and he himself will have made what he will be.”
“A collection is not just one basic idea. It comes from something that is in the air, something you suddenly like and put down on paper and then work out.”
“We all screw up. Everyone makes mistakes. Thatâ€™s what she did. It was bad judgment, thatâ€™s all. You donâ€™t cut off the people you love for mistakes like that.”

“They had stopped now and he gave a glance up at the sky, through the trees, as though to see how much time was left. Amber, watching him, was suddenly struck with panic. Now he was going--out again into that great world with its bustle and noise and excitement--and she must stay here.

“I realized early on that artifice attracted me to an image more than any other quality - I mean artifice in the sense of staging and heightened color and exaggerated lighting, not a surreal or fictive moment...
