The fishing is a great relief for me. When I'm out there's no cell phone ringing. I'm out there fishing with bears. I'm in the middle of God's country catching tons of fish. I just absolutely love it.
It's hard to spend years at a time working in total solitude with no reality-check.
An art aims, above all, at producing something beautiful which affects not our feelings but the organ of pure contemplation, our imagination.
