If I didnt choose art, I would have become an astronomer.

All day long, I'm creative, and the second I get a little tired of any given medium, I just shut that area down and go to the next room. I just go do something else.

Austin happens to be one of my favorite places to be. I'm really looking forward to being in Austin for a few days. And I really like that John Mackey.

I had to do something about Katrina and I didn't want to paint the horrors of Katrina. And I thought, America is pouring their heart out for Katrina, so I created a heart.

The '60s were an amazing time.

Wherever your joy is, go after it, ... pretty ladies.

I'm just wowed by the universe. I'm just glad to do something I love to do. I love color, I love painting, I love shapes, I love composition, I love the people around me. I'm adoring it all. My legacy is in the hands of other people.

Don't worry about mistakes. Making things out of mistakes, that's creativity.

I have a history of saving animals. I started years ago with a cow.
