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

Whether you succeed or not is irrelevant, there is no such thing. Making your unknown known is the important thing.

I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.

The men liked to put me down as the best woman painter. I think I'm one of the best painters.

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.

Filling a space in a beautiful way - that is what art means to me.

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

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

Nobody sees a flower really; it is so small. We haven't time, and to see takes time - like to have a friend takes time.

your smile.is the ultimategolden dream.all the poemsin the worldare waking up from.

Hey, man, I toss a stick for a living. Gotta spice up that deal, y'know. Gotta stand out.

I love a reciprocal tax. Nobody can fight it, it's fair and it's something that we are working on very strongly.

I always knew that I would be some type of public figure, but I never knew that it would be rapping.

It's mass confusion. I'm guessing on every shot. About the only thing left for me is acupuncture in the brain.

You know, I say in my lyrics, "Every word I write will be analyzed by somebody white." It's just that I know that this sh*t is just not gonna fall on deaf ears.

Each period has its own appeal.

The party that called itself liberal aimed at respecting the liberty to dispose of one's own goods
