People who put my paintings on their walls are putting their values on their walls: faith family home a simpler way of living the beauty of nature quiet tranquillity peace joy hope. They beckon you into this world that provides an alternative to your nightly news broadcast.

I just try to play music from my heart and bring as much beauty as I can to as many people as I can. Just give them other alternatives especially people who aren't exposed to creative music.

I've always thought of beauty therapy 'alternative' treatments and the like as the female equivalent of brothels - for essentially self-deceiving people who feel a bit hollow and have to pay to be touched.

Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternative.

I think women should start to embrace their age. What's the alternative to getting older? You die. I can't change the day I was born. But I can take care of my skin my body my mind and try to live my life and be happy.

It is the spirit of the age to believe that any fact no matter how suspect is superior to any imaginative exercise no matter how true.
