I did not know it then, but Frida had already become the most important fact in my life. And would continue to be, up to the moment she died, 27 years later.

To be an artist, one must . . . never shirk from the truth as he understands it, never withdraw from life

As an artist I have always tried to be faithful to my vision of life, and I have frequently been in conflict with those who wanted me to paint not what I saw but what they wished me to see.

The rôle of the artist is that of a soldier of the revolution.

I've never believed in God, but I believe in Picasso.

Looking back upon my work today, I think the best I have done grew out of things deeply felt, the worst from a pride in mere talent.

Art is like ham-it nourishes people.

July 13, 1954 was the most tragic day of my life. I had lost my beloved Frida forever. To late now I realized that the most wonderful part of my life had been my love for Frida.

Through her paintings, she breaks all the taboos of the woman's body and of female sexuality.

We use the web to help people organize in the flesh, and then we take the images of those events and put them back on the web to make them add up to more than the sum of their parts.

The realism frightens me more than the bubble gum-y, heightened stuff.

Further, not only the United States, but the French, British, Germans and the United Nations all thought Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction before the United States intervened.

It's easy. You draw a red line on the ground, right? Then you wait for a chicken to come along. When he arrives, he puts his beak right on the line and he's hypnotized!

I create easily and effortlessly when I let my thoughts come from the loving space of my own heart.

Wisdom before experience is only words; wisdom after experience is of no avail.

The overtime threshold is to the middle class as the minimum wage is to low-wage workers.

As I get older, it's a time to enjoy life.

My life is, like, really, really fun.

Those who labor for bread or money alone are condemned to their reward.
