I have to paint fast on television because of the limited time, but I don't want people to see what I'm showing them as work, something to worry and fret over. This is supposed to be fun.

Just let go - and fall like a little waterfall

Ever make mistakes in life? Let's make them birds. Yeah, they're birds now.

Let's build us a happy, little cloud that floats around the sky.

Put light against light - you have nothing. Put dark against dark - you have nothing. It's the contrast of light and dark that each give the other one meaning.

It's the imperfections that make something beautiful, that's what makes it different and unique from everything else.

I guess I’m a little weird. I like to talk to trees and animals. That’s okay though; I have more fun than most people.

Trees don't grow even, they don't grow straight just however it makes them happy.

People might look at you a bit funny, but it's okay. Artists are allowed to be a bit different.

I don't know if anything in nature ever grows exactly the same, but they are always exactly as the way it should be, perfectly itself.

Whatever makes you happy, you put in your world.

You can't avoid orphan stories, child. Every story is an orphan story. We are all orphaned sooner or later.

All education is the art of making men ethical (sittlich), of transforming the old Adam into the new Adam.

Perhaps I am old-fashioned, but black and white films still hold an affectionate place in my heart; they have an incomparable mystique and mood.

If you don't have your own goals, you'll be doomed to work toward someone else's.

In those times we yearn to have more in our lives, we should dwell on the things we already have. In doing so, we will often find that our lives are already full to overflowing.

Dwelling is not primarily inhabiting but taking care of and creating that space within which something comes into its own and flourishes.

You can't stop people from talking about you, but you can stop giving them something to talk about.

Nothing gives us a greater idea of our soul, than that God has given us, at the moment of our birth, an angel to take care of it.

Repeat mantra: Donuts are not vitamins, donuts are not.
