Every painting I do is related to the last one: it may be a continuation of a previous painting or it may be a reaction against it.

I grew up in Minnesota.

Wait a minute! I'm not interested in agriculture. I want the military stuff. During a briefing military stuff in which officials began telling him about missile silos.

I grew up in Minnesota and everyone is so nice there. It is like Fargo. Everyone's so chipper and you make friends just grocery shopping. We kill each other with kindness.

I don't really necessarily think I'm a funny guy, but I like the opportunity to take on something that I don't feel I'm the best at doing.

I love everything Minnesota.

Everyone should walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. I did it three days in a row because it was one of the most exhilarating experiences I've ever had. The view is breathtaking.

What I love doing is taking my dog for runs.

I tend to go for women with common sense. Being down to earth stands out more than looks.

I don't know anything about this engagement stuff. I never thought I was going to get engaged.

I believe one day nano-robots will play an important role in medicine.

All I need is a big surfboard and a piano.

Elections in Nigeria Under My Watch Have Been Credible and Transparent

If the grass is greener somewhere else...start watering your own lawn!

Being poor is a frame of mind.

I read Superman comics when I was a kid.

If you pivot, do it fully and with conviction. The worst thing is to try to do a bit of the old and the new-it's hard to kill your babies.
