I was probably born with the ability to draw, but that does not make you an artist.

History is remembered by its art, not its war machines.

I think being an artist is having the courage to be original. Many great artists, including Picasso, have all been influenced by the great master paintings... And then finally, they leap, they take off... they become themselves. Then it looks like they just came out of nowhere. Just like 'Pow!'

In many ways my paintings are about energy — both in how they are created and the image itself.

I'm always trying to do things that no one has ever seen before.

Paintings are memories. Memories of the painter who painted them. Memories that can be shared as well. Paintings are things to remember things by.
