I do dream about art, and images come to me in dreams. I am definitely hoping to be in touch with my subconscious. I expect a call any minute.

Traditionally, photography is supposed to capture an event that has passed; but that is not what I'm looking for. Photography brings the past into the present when you look at it...

Making a painting is like playing the saxophone. You hit the note and it comes out.

Painting is like breathing to me. It’s what I do all the time. Every day I make art, whether it is painting, writing or making a movie.

Paintings are not like the Internet. They're not like movies. They're not electronic-friendly. You have to go see them. You have to stand in front of them. That's the great thing about them.

I work with things left over from other things.

It doesn't matter what I think I am, it matters what I do.

I want the paintings to take me or the viewer out somewhere else.

I think beauty is a feeling that you get after you've had an experience. It's the way you feel about it that is beautiful.

I've never made a movie to make money. I've never made a painting to make money.

I think not knowing what to think of your paintings is a good place to be.

People have the right to call themselves whatever they like. That doesn't bother me. It's other people doing the calling that bothers me.

Knowing ourselves is knowing our worth in the eyes of God. That’s why the number one thought we cannot fail to think and believe is that He loves us. Always. No matter what.

There is no shame in preferring happiness.

I saw a poll that said the right track/wrong track in Iraq was better than here in America. It's pretty darn strong. I mean, the people see a better future.

If you kiss someone on the back of the neck, it spreads.

Seize today and put as little trust as you can in tomorrow.

I have a new rule where I only follow fashion people on Instagram.

I think we owe absolutely everything to the fans.

I'm looking into a different actor's eyes every couple days, and I'm learning so much just to see the different processes people go through, and how their acting works for them.

Wherever you go, you will always bear yourself about with you, and so you will always find yourself.
