My concern is with the rhythms of nature I work inside out, like nature.

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.

Abstract painting is abstract. It confronts you.

To overcome fear is the quickest way to gain your self-confidence.

When you are in the dark, listen, and God will give you a very precious message for someone else once you are back in the light.

Show respect for those in power, but do not follow them blindly.

I think because I am as earnest as I am, people were accepting of my evolving into a certified, legitimate, and grown up and I did take three years off.

Charity is to will and do what is just and right in every transaction.

Every gain women have made in the past two hundred years has been in the face of experts insisting they couldn't do it and didn't really want to.

I mean they're making remakes of my films and I'm not even dead yet! Why would you want to make a remake?

I wish I believed I'd see my parents again, see my wife again. But I know it's not going to happen.

Any kind of business or start-up you have, you're going to be faced with a lot of people who maybe don't believe in it or see the vision or just say no.
