I like to paint something that leads me on and on into the unknown, something that I want to see away on beyond.

I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and I am satisfied with it.

I look out the window sometimes to seek the color of the shadows and the different greens in the trees, but when I get ready to paint I just close my eyes and imagine a scene.

People should take time to be happy.

I paint from the top down. From the sky, then the mountains, then the hills, then the houses, then the cattle, and then the people.

The best way for you to get that new experience is to change your response to what happens.

No matter how bright your future seems you can never forget about the past”.

It's a different kind of economic recovery. The kind where bankers steal trillions and you don't have a job.

You take the work seriously, you don't take yourself seriously. You keep that straight and you'll do well the rest of your life.

For me, there's a big difference between having a baby in your 20s and having a baby in your 40s.

I wasnt an easy, happy-go-lucky girl because I used to think about everything so much, and I think I probably still do.

An error is more useful than truth: truth is a thought suffering from arteriosclerosis.

I felt like if I wasn't around, maybe my shot would be gone.
