I paint the way some people write an autobiography. The paintings, finished or not, are the pages from my diary.

Everything you can imagine is real.

Action is the foundational key to all success.

Why do you try to understand art? Do you try to understand the song of a bird?

The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.

I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.

Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow spot into the sun.

Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.

There are two kinds of teachers: the kind that fill you with so much quail shot that you can't move, and the kind that just gives you a little prod behind and you jump to the skies.

It occured to me that we will never be young again.

I am not responsible for all the journalists in the past that have told lies.

Love is like the North Star. In a changing world, it's always constant.

Back before Napster and Spotify, we toured to promote record sales. Now we make records to promote tour dates.

You're supposed to look a certain way when you're a celebrity, but I want to take care of my baby, and those two things don't mesh very well.

I would do Winnie the Pooh. We would live in the tree house. We would hunt for honey.

I feel calm when I'm on my own.

I can't figure women out. They put on makeup for three hours. They wear things that make them smaller. Things that make them bigger. Then they meet a man and they want truth.

We just need a strong female perspective, especially in the world now...when the degrading of women has become such a popular thing.
