I don't very much enjoy looking at paintings in general. I know too much about them. I take them apart.

Whether you succeed or not is irrelevant, there is no such thing. Making your unknown known is the important thing.

I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.

The men liked to put me down as the best woman painter. I think I'm one of the best painters.

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.

Filling a space in a beautiful way - that is what art means to me.

I decided that if I could paint that flower in a huge scale, you could not ignore its beauty.

If you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for a moment.

Nobody sees a flower really; it is so small. We haven't time, and to see takes time - like to have a friend takes time.

When people read erotic symbols into my painting, they're really thinking about their own affairs.

To create one's world in any of the arts takes courage.

Self love is number one. As you radiate it out to others

There's no ''Self made'' we're all dependent.

Rethink Your Mindset because...The view your brain builds and automatically adopts...of yourself, profoundly affects the way you think, feel and act-moment to moment, and the results you create.

Create hell and people will be impatient to get there, just out of curiosity

Look closely at those who patronize you. Half are unfeeling, half untaught.

As Christians we are here to affirm the supreme value of direct sharing, of immediate encounter -not machine to machine, but person to person, face to face.

I want to interact with my fans, and I want to let people know what I'm doing and stuff like that because I'd want to know.

The music was my friend, my lover, my family.

I used to date a girl from Buffalo. Why can't I meet a girl with normal parents?

He's the funniest, smartest person I know. It doesn't mean he doesn't bug me and I'm sure I bug him sometimes.
