Watercolors is the first and the last thing an artist does.

The trouble with being poor is that it takes up all your time.

I have to change to stay the same.

The attitude that nature is chaotic and that the artist puts order into it is a very absurd point of view, I think. All that we can hope for is to put some order into ourselves.

I don't paint to live, I live to paint.

What you do when you paint, you take a brush full of paint, get paint on the picture, and you have faith.

The drawings that interest me most are made with closed eyes. With eyes closed, I feel my hand slide down on the paper. I have an image in mind, but the results always surprise me.

It's really absurd to make... a human image, with paint, today, when you think about it... But then all of a sudden, it was even more absurd not to do it.

Your memory feels like home to me.So whenever my mind wanders, it always finds it’s way back to you.

Thoughts, intentions or feelings cannotcomprehend God but they can see and acknowledge the works of God.

Enemies can't break your spirit, only friends can.

Great champions have an enormous sense of pride. The people who excel are those who are driven to show the world and prove to themselves just how good they are.

I'm the C.E.O., nominated by the shareholders. If they're not happy, I have to take the consequences.

If you truly own who you are, no one can use you against you.

My sister Tiffany told me years ago, 'You can never write about me.' Then she called six months ago and said she wanted to be in a story. She was worried people thought I didn't like her.

One of the vices of the virtue of decentralization is that people don't share ideas.

The domination of one's spirit and mind is not a pretty thing, but I think it happens.

And God would bid His warfare cease, Saying all things were well; And softly make a rosy peace, A peace of Heaven with Hell.
