The worlds I paint leave a lot to engage the imagination by hinting at what lies beyond the four edges of the painting. I think getting beyond the four edges of an opportunity or challenge is one of the basic skills you need in business.

I guess something that I've noticed from American acts who had success in touring is more of an explanation as to their music. Which is I think quite funny. I think British acts might like to leave more to the imagination - maybe a bit more obscure perhaps - a bit more shy.

In The Touch the love scenes are the same as they were in The Thorn Birds or anything else I've ever written. I find a way of saying that either it was heaven or hell but in a way that still leaves room for the reader to use their own imagination.

I like photographs which leave something to the imagination.

You never quite know what's going to strike your imagination or something that won't going to leave you alone not going to leave alone and this was one for me.

A discerning eye needs only a hint and understatement leaves the imagination free to build its own elaborations.

No matter how dark things may get in a story I feel it's the responsibility of the storyteller to leave the audience with at least a shred of hope.

When it's said and done the one thing I want to leave on this earth is hope. I have felt hopelessness and it's a terrible feeling. Hopelessness will destroy you. I want to bring hope to other people.
