Russell, Nicole and I have been wanting to do a large Australian piece for a very long time.
Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's.
Don't worry about the future.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth.
The ugly duckling is a misunderstood universal myth. It's not about turning into a blonde Barbie doll or becoming what you dream of being; it's about self-revelation, becoming who you are.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.
The food in Sydney is an Asian Pacific cuisine. It's eclectic but above all it's fresh, inventive and creative and that's what I love about it.
Trust yourself that you can do it and get it
Fitzgerald coined the phrase the 'Jazz Age,' and now we're living in the Hip-Hop Age.
Accept certain inalienable truths.
Advice is a form of nostalgia.
Why live life from dream to dream? And dread the day when dreaming ends.
I do find walking is fundamental to my creative process.
I always have a point of view. It may not be right, but it's my own.
