People should take time to be happy.

I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and I am satisfied with it.

I look out the window sometimes to seek the color of the shadows and the different greens in the trees, but when I get ready to paint I just close my eyes and imagine a scene.

Even now / I am not old. / I never think of it, and yet / I am a grandmother to eleven grandchildren.

I'll get an inspiration and start painting; then I'll forget everything, everything except how things used to be and how to paint it so people will know how we used to live.

I like to paint something that leads me on and on into the unknown, something that I want to see away on beyond.

I paint from the top down. From the sky, then the mountains, then the hills, then the houses, then the cattle, and then the people.

Life is what you make it.

Memory is a painter. Paintin's not important. The important thing is keepin' busy.

I don't advise any one to take it [painting] up as a business proposition, unless they really have talent... But I will say that I have did remarkable for one of my years, and experience.

If you know somethin' well, you can always paint it but people would be better off buyin' chickens.

I can't take anything you don't give me. Stop giving me power over your life.

Friends are a wonderful thing. They won't make you feel like a nothing.

Few love to hear the sins they love to act.

Laminated Lettuce ... perfect for holiday gift giving.

Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

When feminist discourse is unable to discriminate the drunken fraternity brother from the homicidal maniac, women are in trouble.

And your eyes must do some raining if you're ever gonna grow / When crying don't help, you can't compose yourself / It's best to compose a poem, an honest verse of longing / Or a simple song of hope.

My favorite way of getting out of doing chores is by acting like I'm asleep. But it never works.

Studios are mercurial kind of creatures. A lot of the times getting a movie out can be as much luck as anything else.

[The Poles] will die for their country; but few will work for it.
