You're right, super-realism is back in style.

Which is better--feeling good or getting good?

Waiting for inspiration is for amateurs; professionals get to work.

Artists are supposed to be the ones with imagination. A good part of our job description is to get regular people to use theirs.

Art is a path on which we honour our world. Art may not be the only path, but it is a good path, even though at times a difficult one. As bearers of this honour, we artists do not need to simply render our world as we see it but as we might ourselves redesign it. As artists, one of our privileges is to invent.

In painting you cover up your sins and everyone thinks you're naturally talented.

Whatever you do, don't let your system run you.
