If you come every day or every month to my studio, you won't see that much change, but if you come once a year, you'll see big new categories opened up.

My uniform is sweatpants, so crusted over with dried paint that they're as hard as a table. I wear T-shirts that are also covered in paint, and Crocs.

Most days, I practice piano in the mornings and I spend the rest of the day painting.

I try not to bring in anything I don't love looking at. It's about restaint ... There is something about an unfinished quality that leaves within you that sense of possibility.

It's not until the very last phase that you know how good the works are going to be.

My 20s were spent in a room, alone, mixing paints and figuring it all out.

Painting is something that requires a lot of time - it's not just one good idea out of art school.

I'm not such an artist type that I can't handle the real world. I read the financial pages, because most people don't talk about art.

All my siblings became artists. One's a novelist, my brother is a painter, my sister was a costume designer.

So many paintings have hidden meanings or need wall texts, but my work is not in that category.

The world of painting has nothing to do with the art world.

Customer is king. I am his treasurer.

Serve no one with your gift, but all.

I said you were a man of peace. I want you to know I took immense crap for that.

Those who don't remember the past are condemned to repeat the eleventh grade.

I don't believe in religious tests, and I don't believe my religion is all that important to the people I represent. And I think there's too much religion in politics.

I'd like to do a comedy, actually. I think it would be great to do a sitcom or something like that. I'm pretty much open to anything.

It's always easy to judge from afar

I love Frank Capra. He believed in the goodness of people and one man's ability to fight and often triumph.

I work twice as hard as everybody else.
