It is terrifying to think of what a commodity art has become.

What makes for great art is the courage to speak and write and paint what you know and care about.

If you can't paint, paint Big.

Visualize what you want to do before you do it. Visualization is so powerful that when you know what you want, you will get it.

First I have tried to achieve the highest quality of technical facility possible so that I have at my fingertips the availability to create anything I want. Then I paint.

I believe in the energy of art, and through the use of that energy, the artist's ability to transform his or her life, and by example, the lives of others.

Art is a protest against death.

You can trust the Bible. You will never be a great Christian until you come to the unshakable conviction that the Bible is the Word of God.

When lost in a forest go always down hill. When lost in a philosophy or doctrine go upward.

This life is but the passage of a day, This life is but a pang and all is over; But in the life to come which fades not away Every love shall abide and every lover.

When I go home, I play with my baby dolls and strollers and stuffed animals, pretend like they're real dogs.

The artist's task is to become a successful eccentric, a strange but wise duck able to venture out of solitary confinement and mingle among society.

I will never leave the theater. My heart is there and I love being on stage eight times a week.

Artists everywhere steal mercilessly all the time and I think this is healthy.

We call those poets who are first to mark, Through earth's dull mist the coming of the dawn, Who see in twilight's gloom the first pale spark, While others only note that day is gone.

Ever since I came to the WWE four years ago, there's been one home for Rey Mysterio. SmackDown! In this ring, in this very ring is where I won the World Title. This is my home. These are my people.

Never mind what haters say, ignore them 'til they fade away.
