Do not think that I have stopped painting, for at any moment, I am liable to paint a good picture.

Any revival in which I am involved is liable to change.

I do not care to put out any ideas for pictures. They are too valuable and can be appropriated by any art student, defrauding me out of a possible picture.

When I am in my painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing.

I am not influenced by the techniques or fashions of any other motion picture company.

Only once in the last thirty years have I made a duplicate, and that was a watercolor from my oil picture now owned by the Layton Art Gallery, Milwaukee, called 'Hark! the Lark.'
