Get it - get it better or get it worse. No middle ground of compromise.

I decided on the spot that I would be an artist, and I assure you, it was no ordinary artist I had in mind.

It seemed to me that this might be a great pageant, which would give a chance for a very interesting picture.

Before I die, I will preach to the Muslims in the Arab world. I will preach in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Iran. I will preach in Tehran. I will do it under the umbrella of God. And see its impact.

I'm interested in all kinds of pictures, however they are made, with cameras, with paint brushes, with computers, with anything.
