You Can't Take Yourself Too Seriously.

Some People Try To Paint In My Style. Some Simply Sell Pirated Copies Of My Work. Some Claim To Be My Publisher Or Agent Or Even My Exclusive Representative, When They Are Not.

I've Got The Public. I Don't Care About The Critics. I Did At One Time. I Don't Any More. I Did When I Needed Compliments. But If You Get A Lot Of Compliments, You Don't Need A Critic To Tell You, 'this Should Be Done Another Way.'

My Lovely Wife Janet Has Been In A Few Paintings. She Is Basically A Reserved Woman Who Has Never Sought The Limelight. She Has Always Been There Throughout My Career And Continues To Be At My Side.

You Know What I Like About San Francisco? The Women Are Beautiful, Fashionable And Smart. San Francisco Is One Of The Only Cities I Like To Visit. I Love New York And Chicago - I Studied There, And L.a. Has The Same People As New York.

I Love The Passion You Go Through While You're Creating.
