Having children is like having a bowling alley installed in your brain.

The trouble with jogging is that the ice falls out of your glass.

I don't think you really can send an exact message, because any two viewers are so disparate, in terms of their backgrounds, their point of view, their histories, that there's no telling what that message might be.

I've always had a certain fascination. It's basically paint what you know, and this is what I grew up with.

Show business is just like high school, except you get paid.

I try to not get to the point where one is making wallpaper, or simply painting money. I want to make sure that I am at least trying to weigh myself down, that there's a challenge each time.

You'd have to think that you're at least decent, or you couldn't get up every morning and do it. I think if I live long enough, I might be pretty good.

A cult following is a nice way of saying very few people like you.

Around 1980, I went back to painting with a vengeance.

Having a family is like having a bowling alley installed in your head.

I've been doing it all along, ever since I got out of art school.

If there is some art involved, I'd like it to be that it came through the cracks of daily work.

It really is a day job, and it also seems to have virtually disappeared-with no remorse, really. It gives me more time to paint.

It seems like the opportunity just increases exponentially. There doesn't seem to be much stopping.

It's hard to decide if TV makes morons out of everyone, or if it mirrors Americans who really are morons to begin with.

Never underestimate a child's ability to get into more trouble.

To be able to get up and be in my studio and work all day is a great joy.

Writing about music is like dancing about architecture.

You'd be surprised at how undemanding acting is.

I had a teacher in art school who said something about the only works he really enjoyed seeing or found much in were works where he had a sense that a discovery was made in the course of making this object. I like to hold to that as my marching orders.
