Happiness goes like the wind, but what are interesting stays.

When people read erotic symbols into my painting, they're really thinking about their own affairs.

I've been afraid every single day of my life, but I've gone ahead and done it anyway.

The days you work are the best days.

A flower touches everyone's heart.

I feel there is something unexplored about women that only a woman can explore.

I want real things, music that makes holes in the sky.

To make your unknown known, that's the important thing.

You are one of my nicest thoughts.

Since I cannot sing, I paint.

I decided to accept as true my own thinking.

My painting is what I have to give back to the world for what the world gives to me.

God told me if I painted that mountain enough, I could have it.

Beautifully fill a space.

It's not enough to be nice in life. You've got to have the nerve.

To create one's world in any of the arts takes courage.

If you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for a moment.

I decided that if I could paint that flower on a huge scale, you could not ignore its beauty.

To draw you must close your eyes and sing.
