"I'll never have enough time to paint all the pictures I'd like to."
Time
"It wouldn't be right for me to clown around when I'm painting a president."

Expression

Life
"I can take a lot of pats on the back. I love it when I get admiring letters from people. And, of course, I'd love it if the critics would notice me, too."
