I Love California; Everything Is So Artificial.

Paint Something Every Day.

I Stay Up Nights And Fiddle With My Opera Designs. It's A Bit Obsessive. That's Why I Can't Do It All The Time.

I Can Get Excitement Watching Rain On A Puddle. And Then I Paint It. Now, I Admit, There Are Not Too Many People Who Would Find That Exciting. But I Would. And I Want Life Thrilling And Rich. And It Is. I Make Sure It Is.

I Went To Art School Actually When I Was Sixteen Years Old.

I Think Picasso Was, Without Doubt, The Greatest Portraitist Of The 20th Century, If Not Any Other Century.
