"Life becomes difficult when out of sync with your heart-felt desires."
"By walking on the right path, you create a golden fate for yourself and you also become a silver lining for the others!"
"The world's a hard place, Danny. It don't care. It don't hate you and me, but it don't love us, either. Terrible things happen in the world, and they're things no one can explain. Good people die in bad, painful ways and leave the folks that love them all alone. Sometimes it seems like it's only the bad people who stay healthy and prosper. The world don't love you, but your momma does and so do I."

"Painting is the most magical of mediums. The transcendence is truly amazing to me every time I go to a museum and I see how somebody figured another way to rub colored dirt on a flat surface and make space where there is no space or make you think of a life experience."
"I think most paintings are a record of the decisions that the artist made. I just perhaps make them a little clearer than some people have."
"Most people are good at too many things. And when you say someone is focused, more often than not what you actually mean is they're very narrow."
"Part of the joy of looking at art is getting in sync in some ways with the decision-making process that the artist used and the record that's embedded in the work."
"Sometimes I really want to paint somebody and I don't get a photograph that I want to work from."
"Sculpture occupies real space like we do... you walk around it and relate to it almost as another person or another object."
"I always thought that one of the reasons why a painter likes especially to have other painters look at his or her work is the shared experience of having pushed paint around."
