• For me, the good songs are the ones that come really naturally. There are certain songs that you rework and rewrite and the craft becomes very evident, but a lot of times those aren't my favorite songs. The favorite songs are the ones that I can't even hear my own voice in.

• I am never in a hurry to reach details. First and above all I am interested in the large masses and the general character of a picture; when these are well established, then I try for subtleties of form and color. I rework the painting constantly and freely, and without any systematic method.

• In working on a drawing or a painting, one can rework and rework and rework and change ideas until you get it the way you think is right at that time. With clay that's not possible. You either succeed the first time, or you should wad it up and start over again, because you can't mess around with the clay and still have it fresh.

• Usually, I make a simple beat, throw in the acapella, and then I just improvise on the piano. Whatever comes up, I record the result, and I rework on it. Sometimes it takes a while to come with an idea, but mostly it comes naturally because I already have a connection with the song.

• El programador, como el poeta, trabaja sólo ligeramente alejado del puro pensamiento. Construye sus castillos en el aire, a partir del aire, creando mediante el esfuerzo de la imaginación. Pocos medios de creación son tan flexibles, tan fáciles de pulir y reelaborar, tan fácilmente capaces de realizar grandes estructuras conceptuales.

• At any rate, if evolution turns out to be true, then the Christian should embrace it as one dedicated to following the truth wherever it leads.

  Paul Copan

• After finishing the first draft, I work for as long as it takes (for two or three weeks, most often) to rework that first draft on a computer. Usually that involves expansion: filling in and adding to, but trying not to lose the spontaneous, direct sound. I use that first draft as a touchstone to make sure everything else in that section has the same sound, the same tone and impression of spontaneity.

• No es sin inquietud que me he apropiado de los códigos de lo sublime y lo pintoresco en mi trabajo. Después de todo, los fotógrafos serios han pasado la mayor parte de este siglo tratando de eliminar tales extravagancias de su arte. La tradición perdura, sobre todo en calendarios y postales. Se me planteó el reto de reelaborar y revitalizar lo que había sido tan rotundamente denigrado.
