Paint faster than you can think.

I like to make an image that is so simple you can't avoid it, and so complicated you can't figure it out.

If you know what you're doing, you're doing dull stuff.

You have to be a little scared of what you're doing. Otherwise, you just paint the same masterpiece a little worse.

A bad girl is a far more dangerous thing than a bad boy.

Yes, my dear child, monsters are real. I happen to have one hanging in my basement.

Claude Jade is a brave nice young lady. But I don't give any guarantee what she will do on a taxi's back seat.

Loving one another is half of wisdom.

I am composing like a god, as if it simply had to be done as it has been done.

Streets crowded with people strolling, or sitting at outdoor cafes. And always, talking, gesturing, singing, laughing. I liked Rome immediately.Everybody was a performer.

The one thing that's common to all successful people: They make a habit of doing things that unsuccessful people don't like to do.
