Art Saved My Life In Two Ways.

I Don't Work With Inspiration. Inspiration Is For Amateurs. I Just Get To Work.

Sometimes I Really Want To Paint Somebody And I Don't Get A Photograph That I Want To Work From.

In Life You Can Be Dealt A Winning Hand Of Cards And You Can Find A Way To Lose, And You Can Be Dealt A Losing Hand And Find A Way To Win. True In Art And True In Life: You Pretty Much Make Your Own Destiny. If You Are By Nature An Optimistic Person, Which I Am, That Puts You In A Better Position To Be Lucky In Life.

A Face Is A Road Map Of Someone's Life. Without Any Need To Amplify That Or Draw Attention To It, There's A Great Deal That's Communicated About Who This Person Is And What Their Life Experiences Have Been.

Never Let Anyone Define What You Are Capable Of By Using Parameters That Don't Apply To You. Inspiration Is For Amateurs, The Rest Of Us Just Show Up And Get To Work. Every Great Idea I've Ever Had Grew Out Of Work Itself. Sign Onto A Process And See Where It Takes You. You Don't Have To Invent The Wheel Everyday. Today You Will Do What You Did Yesterday, Tomorrow You Will Do What You Did Today. Eventually, You Will Get Somewhere.
