I'm developed as an artist to accept the fact there are different points of view, but I believe in what I do and I have to stay with that.

I don't have lots of things in the background. I do like large faces, I find them strong and contemporary.

I'm always worried about the sitters - are they cold, are they hot, are they comfortable?

Photography today is so accurate and so good that it's really so much easier just to take photographs and work from them.

I have painted and drawn bulls for some time because of their density and all the symbolism they carry.

I'm interested in the landscape of the face, the way in which light and shadow fall across the forms. That's really my subject matter.

As an artist, you do understand you're never going to please everybody.

To pursue happiness for its own sake is the surest way to lose it.

Please kiss that girl a million times.

As troubles bring money, money in turn can also bring troubles.

A society needs famous people

The strongest inpression remaining with me after watching the wolves...was their friendliness towards each other.

The affections are the children of ignorance; when the horizon of our experience expands, and models multiply, love and admiration imperceptibly vanish.

When I do encounter young women or aspiring filmmakers who tell me that I've inspired them or that my work means something to them, that's amazing. That's really exciting!

Giving debt relief to people that really need it, that's what foreclosure is.

I put it down to the paranoia of advancing age. It isn't like I'm all that old or anything, especially for a wizard, but age is always advancing and I'm fairly sure it's up to no good.

Most people know who believes in them.
