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

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.

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.

Painting seems an old man's business. After a certain time you're out of it, and you just paint masterpieces.

To God on whom we rely knows what suffering is all about- not merely in the way that God knows everything, but by experience.

The powerful notion of entropy, which comes from a very special branch of physics … is certainly useful in the study of communication and quite helpful when applied in the theory of language.

If I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with!

You don't need a pack of wild horses to learn how to make a sandwich.

I guess God made Boston on a wet Sunday.

It's so good for your health to take those naps. I don't know why people brag that they sleep five hours. I'd be ashamed. I'm proud that I sleep nine hours.

The real does not die, the unreal never lived.

Donald Trump must give the American public his tax returns to show that he's qualified to be president and he's breaking his promise.

Any revival in which I am involved is liable to change.
