Make a painting you can work on for a long period, and make it look like it doesn't show any effort.

I like to make an image that is so simple you can't avoid it, and so complicated you can't figure it out.

If you know what you're doing, you're doing dull stuff.

You have to be a little scared of what you're doing. Otherwise, you just paint the same masterpiece a little worse.

Part of what Im about is seeing how I can paint the same thing differently instead of different things the same way.

Paint faster than you can think.

What's in front of me is what's most interesting.

If you're going to go for 'it' you have a common thing you share with other artists; that's desperation. You jump out a window style-wise. Try to put it together before you hit the ground.

You usually want to get something out of a painting other than the ideas that you had in your head.

I know people can be a little nervous about swimsuits, but have some fun with it. Believe you can hold it down. If you believe you can hold it down, you can wear it.

Sometimes it takes me days or weeks to get something clear in my head on what I want to do. Everything is in steps. One thing leads to another.

Why do you want to touch me? I'm nothing. I'm no one.

What we have to fight for...is the freedom and independence of the fatherland, so that our people may be enabled to fulfill the mission assigned to it by the Creator.

If anyone were to ask me what I want out of life I would say- the opportunity for doing something useful, for in no other way, I am convinced, can true happiness be attained.

For all of us, we put our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. He's in our boat. And when those storms come and those waves (of life) come, He's in the boat with us.

If you have two groups of people and you say one is inferior to the other, which is a lie, then the only way to maintain the lie is through violence or the threat of violence.

The map is not the territory (coined by Alfred Korzybski), and the name is not the thing named.

Just follow your heart and you'll see no one can love you as much as me.

Disarmament or limitation of armaments, which depends on the progress made on security, also contributes to the maintenance of peace.

Is there a God? No. God is a verb, not a noun.

Americans have two ardent passions; the love of liberty, and love of distinction.
