I'm very representational some of the time, and a little all of the time. But when you're painting out of your unconscious, figures are bound to emerge.

Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.

The secret of success is… to be fully awake to everything about you.

If people would just look at the paintings, I don't think they would have any trouble enjoying them. It's like looking at a bed of flowers, you don't tear your hair out over what it means.

Abstract painting is abstract. It confronts you. There was a reviewer a while back who wrote that my pictures didn't have any beginning or any end. He didn't mean it as a compliment, but it was.

Art is coming face to face with yourself.

There is no accident, just as there is no beginning and no end.

Painting is no problem. The problem is what to do when you're not painting.

It doesn't matter how the paint is put on, as long as something is said.

Abstract painting is abstract. It confronts you.

To understand and be understood is to be at peace

Think of something, Oh yes! Think of something. Your life must not be in retardation so think of something! Think of growth for that is the whole essence of life!

I could go to a dozen houses, scrape away the dirt, and find his footprints, but my own prints evaporated before I ever looked back.

Women can be incredible role models for their kids, neighbors and communities just by making good choices in terms of what they're eating and whether they're exercising.

The moment you put a deadline on your dream,it becomes a goal.

You don't underestimate either players or audience in any circumstances.

Avoiding pregnancy is not an absolute evil.

To defend what you've written is a sign that you are alive.
