We're all water from different rivers, That's why it's so easy to meet, We're all water in this vast, vast ocean, Someday we'll evaporate together.

I never wanted to be a professional artist; I think that's limiting.

Be kind to yourself this evening. Buy something for yourself. Treat yourself to a meal. Look in the mirror and give yourself a smile

Use your blood to paint. Keep painting until you faint. Keep painting until you die.

I really feel that artists or musicians are controversial people. Controversy is part of the nature of art and creativity. If people are not doing that, they're not artists - they're artisans.

It's a waste of time to think that if you colored a painting red what might have happened if you painted it black.

My work was not embraced for many decades. I would have killed myself if getting embraced affected me so much.
