I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me.

I like to paint something that leads me on and on into the unknown, something that I want to see away on beyond.

If you know somethin' well, you can always paint it but people would be better off buyin' chickens.

Someone has asked me to paint Biblical pictures, and I say no, I'll not paint something that we know nothing about, might just as well paint something that will happen two thousand years hence.

I paint from the top down. From the sky, then the mountains, then the hills, then the houses, then the cattle, and then the people.

Even now / I am not old. / I never think of it, and yet / I am a grandmother to eleven grandchildren.

A strange thing is memory, and hope; one looks backward, and the other forward; one is of today, the other of tomorrow. Memory is history recorded in our brain, memory is a painter, it paints pictures of the past and of the day.
