It was taunted as reality. It was dangled as a carrot. In terms of people's hopes and dreams, to say that that is less of a reality than the daily grind they find themselves in is maybe not correct.

Never underestimate a child's ability to get into more trouble.

To be able to get up and be in my studio and work all day is a great joy.

It really is a day job, and it also seems to have virtually disappeared-with no remorse, really. It gives me more time to paint.

It seems like the opportunity just increases exponentially. There doesn't seem to be much stopping.

You'd be surprised at how undemanding acting is.

I think there are a lot of pictures to make. I sometimes question whether I'm even an artist or just a painter. To me, the making of the pictures is the most important thing.

It was taunted as reality. It was dangled as a carrot. In terms of people's hopes and dreams, to say that that is less of a reality than the daily grind they find themselves in is maybe not correct.

Around 1980, I went back to painting with a vengeance.

I don't think you really can send an exact message, because any two viewers are so disparate, in terms of their backgrounds, their point of view, their histories, that there's no telling what that message might be.

I had a teacher in art school who said something about the only works he really enjoyed seeing or found much in were works where he had a sense that a discovery was made in the course of making this object. I like to hold to that as my marching orders.

I never stopped making pictures. There were times when more of my income was coming from other sources, and I had to devote more time to television and movies and records.

Having children is like having a bowling alley installed in your brain.

It's hard to decide if TV makes morons out of everyone, or if it mirrors Americans who really are morons to begin with.

A cult following is a nice way of saying very few people like you.

Having a family is like having a bowling alley installed in your head.

The trouble with jogging is that the ice falls out of your glass.

If there is some art involved, I'd like it to be that it came through the cracks of daily work.

I've always had a certain fascination. It's basically paint what you know, and this is what I grew up with.

I try to not get to the point where one is making wallpaper, or simply painting money. I want to make sure that I am at least trying to weigh myself down, that there's a challenge each time.

Show business is just like high school, except you get paid.

You'd have to think that you're at least decent, or you couldn't get up every morning and do it. I think if I live long enough, I might be pretty good.

Some of the pictures I must say every now and then I just think are going to be funny. When it gets that much, you might as well just pull out all the stops and make it more of a burlesque.

I've been doing it all along, ever since I got out of art school.

I kind of just lucked into and fell into the other profession. It was really just an outgrowth of the fact that when I was in art school, I had no money whatsoever.

It was taunted as reality. It was dangled as a carrot. In terms of peoples hopes and dreams to say that that is less of a reality than the daily grind they find themselves in is maybe not correct.

The town where I grew up has a zip code of E I E I O.

One of the most adventurous things left us is to go to bed. For no one can lay a hand on our dreams.

My life has been a continuous fulfillment of dreams. It appears that everything I saw and did has a new, and perhaps, more significant meaning, every time I see it. The earth is good. It is a privilege to live thereon.

Vain hopes are like certain dreams of those who wake.

We don't have an eternity to realize our dreams, only the time we are here.

Rude contact with facts chased my visions and dreams quickly away, and in their stead I beheld the horrors, the corruption, the evils and hypocrisy of society, and as I stood among them, a young wife, a great wail of agony went out from my soul.

The world is seldom what it seems; to man, who dimly sees, realities appear as dreams, and dreams realities.

I worked on my voice for Sweet Dreams, but only to match my speaking voice to Patsy's actual singing voice. That was my way into that character.

In my dreams, I could be a Princess, and that's what I was. Like most little girls, I believed nothing less than a Prince could make my dreams come true.

The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams; the old servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits.

The name Air Supply sort of came from nowhere. I get a lot of my things in dreams and I just had a dream about it one night, and I woke up and said that's just got to be the name. That was in 1975.

Only in our dreams are we free. The rest of the time we need wages.

War is eternity jammed into frantic minutes that will fill a lifetime with dreams and nightmares.

All books are either dreams or swords, you can cut, or you can drug, with words.

I'd really like to get the girl, shoot the gun, drive the car, have fun. I even have these kind of action dreams, where I'm the action guy.

Hopes are but the dreams of those that wake.

Judge of your natural character by what you do in your dreams.

I am accustomed to sleep and in my dreams to imagine the same things that lunatics imagine when awake.

I am so excited to let fans in on how important my relationship with my family is to me. I hope to motivate mothers and daughters to build lifetimes of memories together and inspire kids around the world to live their dreams.

Let your dreams outgrow the shoes of your expectations.

It's a pity one can't imagine what one can't compare to anything. Genius is an African who dreams up snow.

Dreams seem to have a will of their own.

There is hope in dreams, imagination, and in the courage of those who wish to make those dreams a reality.
