Actually, you want to go into an area where you're frightened. Otherwise, you're just going to be repainting beautiful paintings, but a little duller each time.

I like to make an image that is so simple you can't avoid it, and so complicated you can't figure it out.

If you know what you're doing, you're doing dull stuff.

You have to be a little scared of what you're doing. Otherwise, you just paint the same masterpiece a little worse.

Part of what Im about is seeing how I can paint the same thing differently instead of different things the same way.

Paint faster than you can think.

What's in front of me is what's most interesting.

If you're going to go for 'it' you have a common thing you share with other artists; that's desperation. You jump out a window style-wise. Try to put it together before you hit the ground.

You usually want to get something out of a painting other than the ideas that you had in your head.

I know people can be a little nervous about swimsuits, but have some fun with it. Believe you can hold it down. If you believe you can hold it down, you can wear it.

God doesn’t work on sense; He works on grace. God called you, and God called me. He knew what He was doing.

It's painful to not be able to fully focus, but it keeps you fresh.

I think it's important for fans to know that but if I'm doing something that inspires me musically then I think it will inspire someone else too.

Happiness comes from self-knowledge. Self-knowledge means that you have understood your mind. Your mind is the whole universe.

Wealth that stays to give enjoyment and satisfaction to its owner comes gradually, because it is a child born of knowledge and persistent purpose.

Anarchists prepare for social revolution and use every means - speech, writing, or deed, whichever is more to the point; to accelerate revolutionary development.

As long as the mind is enslaved, the body can never be free.
