I consider that women who are authors, lawyers, and politicians are monsters.

I have a predilection for painting that lends joyousness to a wall.

The pain passes, but the beauty remains.

People love to be nice, but you must give them the chance.

In a few generations you can breed a racehorse. The recipe for making a man like Delacroix is less well known.

To my mind, a picture should be something pleasant, cheerful, and pretty, yes pretty! There are too many unpleasant things in life as it is without creating still more of them.

I just keep painting till I feel like pinching. Then I know it's right.
