I just wanted to do something important.

I paint life as I would like it to be.

Commonplaces never become tiresome. It is we who become tired when we cease to be curious and appreciative.

I learned to draw everything except glamorous women. No matter how much I tried to make them look sexy, they always ended up looking silly... or like somebody's mother.

No man with a conscience can just bat out illustrations. He's got to put all his talent and feeling into them!

If a picture wasn't going very well, I'd put a puppy in it.

I'm the oldest antique in town.
