I have written my life in small sketches, a little today, a little yesterday, as I have thought of it, as I remember all the things from childhood on through the years, good ones and unpleasant ones, that is how they come out and that is how we have to take them.

A primitive artist is an amateur whose work sells.

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

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

I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and I am satisfied with it.

Life is what you make it.

People should take time to be happy.
