A primitive artist is an amateur whose work sells.

I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and I am satisfied with it.

I look out the window sometimes to seek the color of the shadows and the different greens in the trees, but when I get ready to paint I just close my eyes and imagine a scene.

Even now / I am not old. / I never think of it, and yet / I am a grandmother to eleven grandchildren.

I'll get an inspiration and start painting; then I'll forget everything, everything except how things used to be and how to paint it so people will know how we used to live.

I like to paint something that leads me on and on into the unknown, something that I want to see away on beyond.

I like my privacy. I love being a part of [films], but when I'm not doing stuff, I like to go away. I enjoy being a person, a great deal.

The secret to applying my makeup is that I just put it where it's needed.

I feel dead, wasted, awful, broken and useless. It's not the kind of feeling you forget.

Putin has big plans for Russia...Hats off to the Russians. I think I would just get along very well with Vladimir Putin.

Abortion ... interferes with God's plan-a plan He willed before He created the universe.

Romance takes place when you first fall in love. It stirs all emotions and you can manipulate and be manipulated.
