As to what I would like to be, it is difficult to say. An artist of some kind. If nothing else I shall always study the Arts.

Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.

The secret of success is… to be fully awake to everything about you.

If people would just look at the paintings, I don't think they would have any trouble enjoying them. It's like looking at a bed of flowers, you don't tear your hair out over what it means.

Abstract painting is abstract. It confronts you. There was a reviewer a while back who wrote that my pictures didn't have any beginning or any end. He didn't mean it as a compliment, but it was.

Art is coming face to face with yourself.

There is no accident, just as there is no beginning and no end.

Painting is no problem. The problem is what to do when you're not painting.

It doesn't matter how the paint is put on, as long as something is said.

I have a trophy case that contains all the action figures ever made of me. It also has items I've stolen from my movies, like three guns and holsters from 'Serenity'.

I'm going to move on and do other things. My life isn't going to be about Jar Jar Binks.

I'd like to go out knowing that I helped a few people along the way.

We are at the mercy of time, and for all the ways we are remembered, a sea of things will be lost. But how much is contained in what lingers!

The tongue, the Chinese say, is like a sharp knife: it kills without drawing blood.

Ladies and gentlemen are permitted to have friends in the kennel, but not in the kitchen.

Well I've got lots more great TV projects in the pipeline.

Love is flower like; Friendship is like a sheltering tree.
