Imagination comes in after we have experience.

The mission of art is to represent nature not to imitate her.

Don't talk of what you are 'going to do!' Do it!

You are to draw not reality, but the appearance of reality!

Give up the idea of 'color' for awhile! Consider masses - values, only... One dark and one light place in every picture.

Believe that time is going to help you do what you want.

You can't do a fine thing without having seen fine examples.

Elaboration is not beauty, and sand-paper never finished a piece of bad work.

You can always draw as well as you know how to. I flatter myself that I feel more than I express on canvas; but I know that is not so.

Inspiration is nothing without work.

It's impossible to make a picture without values. Values are the basis. If they are not, tell me what is the basis.

Man's chief enemy is his own unruly nature and the dark forces put up within him.

There is no end to wonder once one starts really looking.

Innumerable are the illusions and legerdemain tricks of custom: but of all these perhaps the cleverest is her knack of persuading us that the miraculous by simple repetition ceases to be miraculous.

The irony is that I'm actually a very empathetic person, but I don't believe in sympathy at all.

There's such an energy bounding around New York, I can't help but get swept along in it.

I collect Wonder Woman - from comics to paraphernalia, and I even have a tattoo of her on my back. I'm a huge Wonder Woman fan!

What still amuses me a bit is that in F1 people see the race basically on TV screens. But I am sure new tracks will be built.

I think Hillary Clinton understands the ins and outs of the White House better than anyone who's come before her.

Beneath the excuse lies your destiny.

Don't boo people! Don't boo! Be more specific! Like, 'WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT?! I HATE THAT! I HATE IT!'
