Art is a great means of self-discovery. One of the things that appealed to me in the beginning was that it was a great way to get girlfriends.

Psychoanalysis comes down to the process itself - the self, and life. I think I can say that I'm friends with the unconscious life, but I've never tried to make a painting directly from a dream.

The paintings have a lot to do with the idea of seeing and doing, and the relationship between your hand and your eye, and the object.

The idea is to have no idea. Get lost. Get lost in the landscape.

Make friends with your unconscious life. That's a great source of energy.

I've done a lot of bad things in the past, and that troubles me. It is often before I could say I was a self.

Girls seemed to like artists! I felt very drawn to the idea of power, really, and doing painting as a power trip, in a sense. This idea of power has always driven me.

Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.

Clear skies do not promise rain.

Clean energy is good for the environment, good for national security, and good for thousands of Americans who desire a rewarding career.

People are motivated by fear, but they are not inspired by it. Everything that inspires us comes from love.

I think it's a new feature. Don't tell anyone it was an accident.

Negative thinking is prevalent, in particular, among so many women in their later years, and, as a result, they live out their lives in discontent.

The good rising fastball is the best pitch in baseball.

People would pull the rug out from under me. So I learnt how to dance on a moving carpet.
