The secret to so many artists living so long is that every painting is a new adventure. So, you see, they're always looking ahead to something new and exciting. The secret is not to look back.

Some people have been kind enough to call me a fine artist. I've always called myself an illustrator. I'm not sure what the difference is. All I know is that whatever type of work I do, I try to give it my very best. Art has been my life.

I'm not going to be caught around here for any fool celebration. To hell with birthdays!

Things aren't much wilder now, I don't think, than they were back then. Of course I just read about all the goings-on now. Ha.

No man with a conscience can just bat out illustrations. He's got to put all his talent and feeling into them!

Right from the beginning, I always strived to capture everything I saw as completely as possible.

Some folks think I painted Lincoln from life, but I haven't been around that long. Not quite.

When I go to farms or little towns, I am always surprised at the discontent I find. And New York, too often, has looked across the sea toward Europe. And all of us who turn our eyes away from what we have are missing life.

I'll never have enough time to paint all the pictures I'd like to.

I'm not going to be caught around here for any fool celebration. To hell with birthdays!
