You can carry paintings around under your arms for six months and not sell one; or, if you do, you get half of what you thought you would.

If the paint wants to flow, I let it flow. If it wants to just sit there, I walk away.

If you're not going to offend somebody you don't need the First Amendment.

Maybe some of his decisions were a little misguided.

It's not always the results. Sometimes it's seeing their poise or lack thereof. You want to see if they'll battle when it gets tough.

I've led this empty life for over forty years and now I can pass that heritage on and ensure that the misery will continue for at least one more generation.
