It is not easy, but you have to be willing to make mistakes. And the earlier you make those mistakes, the better.

Everybody is vulnerable to being in relationships where they get fooled. I'm no different. It's just human nature.

The fire was so hot it singed the hair on my head and the tips of my fingers are burned. I had nice clothes on the night before and brand new shoes, but they're ruined.

I do portraits. I usually do live models in a class environment, but I've been painting at home more. I really love the human form, and I love faces. I've tried to do landscapes a few times.

I don't know if it's naivete or just narcissism, but I start out with this notion that I can do anything. It's not until I get into it that I realize what I've thrown myself into, and then I will do anything not to humiliate myself. And that, I think, is the secret to my success.

Man is a slow, sloppy, and brilliant thinker; computers are fast, accurate, and stupid.
