Jim Shaw Quotations

We have seen an increase in the pace of digital phone sales during the early part of the third quarter.

So he had his favorite meal, played a show and died in his sleep. We thought that's not too bad.

She was so far into the Alzheimer's, she was not aware of Buck's passing as far as I can tell.

I think it's a disgrace to have the Pennsylvania mine effluent coming out as it is.

I think the reason he was so well known and respected by a younger generation of country musicians was because he was an innovator and rebel. He did it out of the Nashville establishment. He had a raw edge.

While we're OK with the results, they were probably a little low to even our expectations.

You divide the game into four parts. Defense, rebounding, taking care of the ball and taking good shots. Tonight I thought we went 4 for 4.

Brandon can guard at least three or four positions. And the same for Bobby.

The smaller shopping centers, the leases were too long and way too expensive and pretty much ironclad. The mall offered a short-term six-month lease, and were very willing to work with new businesses to help us get up and get going. That was really a determining factor for locating here. Plus, there's more exposure and longer hours.

Right now, we have a hard time delivering on the products we already have.

I pulled myself out. The timing was too tight.

I feel it's back. Just keep on going and build on from last season. There's no reason to fall back.

I'm jealous of that time when you could afford lofts and survive on almost nothing. You can't do that anymore.

There's a lot of different kinds of success. I'm so dedicated to the making of the art that the rest of my life atrophies, unfortunately.

One thing I noticed over time is that if I got a bad review, usually the bad part of it was at the very end. I could tell that nobody read the whole review because they would just say, "It was great to see the review!" In a way, my brain shuts down at the end of an article. It doesn't really want to go to the end.

I feel like I have to avoid certain thrift store-isms, having been known for the thrift store paintings. It's like I have to not paint that way.

If I don't have a deadline, I could fuss around with stuff for forever.

They say the one thing that people who live the longest have in common is that they have a religious belief.

I can never remember names. I'm so self-centered and have a terrible memory...

I realized that I wasn't naturally born to good taste. I understand what it is, but I am happy to wear bright colors. I do have a few items of black clothing, but I think good taste and doing the same thing over and over again is what the whole art world has become.

Warhol was a prime example of a schizoid person. Maybe he had Asperger's, or maybe he was just an amorous human being on earth.

When you're younger, you go out and you're convivial because you have to be. But once you don't have to meet people anymore, what's your motivation in going out?

I've had far more success than I ever expected. But I do think that a lot of successful artists have an aim to be successful, even if they don't outwardly sound like it. I never really expected success.

I'm getting more and more isolated as I get on in years. I think people's insanity starts to slowly take over.

I feel like schizoid is a precursor to schizophrenia or manic depression. I feel like I'm manic. I have parts of schizoid, parts of Asperger's. I'm a smorgasbord of neuroses.

The one thing I'm jealous of a signature-artist situation is that if you just do one thing and slight variations on it, you wouldn't have to kill yourself to get a show done. I'm sick of killing myself.

There's so much art and it's gotten so flashy. In the global marketplace, having art that's shiny and has neon lights is almost what you need for anyone to notice it in an art fair situation - and art fairs seem to be more and more the only thing there is.

There's so many bigger things in the world. The art world is such a tiny little thing compared to wars and migration crises. It's weird to be self-absorbed in it.
