To me, it's like happiness is about happiness, but happiness is a fight.

I don't care about what brand you are, I'm concerned what type of man you are, what your principles and standards are.

Fear not of men because men must die. Mind over matter and soul before flesh.

I dreamt that I could paint you with words, but there were no colors bright enough, black or white enough, blue or green enough...they didn't mean enough

Make today's solid ground out of yesterday's quicksand.

Good art provides people with a vocabulary about things they can't articulate.

They say that when a man faces his destiny, the destiny ends and he becomes the man that he really is.

It’s one thing to be the greatest; it’s another thing to be necessary. The best are the most necessary: those who take less than they give and love more than they hate.

My presence speaks volumes before I say a word.

That idea of peace and love toward humanity shouldn't be nationalistic or denominational. It should be a chief concern for all mankind.

I don't want to waste anyone's time or money. I want to give people some truth and positive heart lift.

I do not expect old heads on young shoulders.

Spectacle is the sun that never sets over the empire of modern passivity

I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.

Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily.

Some days are good; some days are not so good. Some days are really exciting. Some days are just tedious. You just have to get up out of bed.

I think New Yorkers - they're media savvy. People have a sense of humor.

The most reliable components are the ones you leave out.

The rush to enjoy robs the joy from life and only denies the happiness and freedom of here and now.

Who has a harder fight than he who is striving to overcome himself.

As an artist, it's possible to get tired of yourself.
