Make a painting you can work on for a long period, and make it look like it doesn't show any effort.

You usually want to get something out of a painting other than the ideas that you had in your head.

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

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

Actually, you want to go into an area where you're frightened. Otherwise, you're just going to be repainting beautiful paintings, but a little duller each time.

You have to find what your temperament is like and live around it. I find I work really well off the top of my head because you get the unconscious into it. Otherwise, it's just an idea. And I'm not so hot there.

I know people can be a little nervous about swimsuits, but have some fun with it. Believe you can hold it down. If you believe you can hold it down, you can wear it.
