Love is friendship set to music.

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.

The modern artist is working with space and time, and expressing his feelings rather than illustrating.

The worst kind of loneliness, I think, is to be in the presence of those you love and have them treat you like you aren't there.

Maybe attraction was aligned in heaven before our birth because there was no other way to explain my feelings. There were millions of boys on the earth. Why did it feel so strong?

Either one lives 'for' politics or one lives 'off' politics.

I am not interested in rules or conventions. Photography is not a sport.

When my son came into my life, my priorities changed, because I wanted to have the relationship with him, that I didn't have with my father.

I met Bill Clinton in 1977 while I was working as a news reporter for KARK-TV in Little Rock, Arkansas. Shortly after we met, we began a sexual relationship that lasted for twelve years.

One thing that was inspiring to me in my research about [Georgia] O'Keeffe was to learn that in addition to her success she had very hard times, and times when she was frustrated and uninspired.

Peace fell upon her spirit. Strong comfort and assurance bathed her whole being. Life was so solid and splendid, and so good.
