I do Taekwondo and sometimes I paint.

Life obliges me to do something, so I paint.

It's amazing how, in New York, there is almost a feeling of entitlement by the public - this very palpable lack of surprise at being stopped in the street and being asked to be the subject of a 12-foot monumental painting.

But I'm the only one who can paint the moon, because I'm the only one who knows whether that's right or not.

I hope that my painting has the impact of giving someone, as it did me, the feeling of his own totality, of his own separateness, of his own individuality.

I've had a fan who made a painting of my face with her fingers. I have put it up in my room. It was sweet and very different.

I am more a friend of art than a producer of painting.

No, I didn't become disenchanted. I just couldn't paint like them.

My personality is more the personality of a painter.

Filmmaking is a very collaborative art. Unlike a painting that an artist paints sitting by himself, as a director, you have to work with a team.

I wanted to make these people real, not like they were in a painting. Like these are people who don't know they're in a period movie. Those concerns are incredibly immediate.

Cooking is just a vehicle to express yourself, like painting and acting... The reason why we're cooking is not because we want to put something on the plate. It's so much more complex than that.

I've always been a fan of poetry. I grew up with Lawrence Ferlinghetti and the Beat poets. I really followed that stuff for a while. I just love the way people threw words around like they were painting.

Not only are Christians writing about Jesus, but also Communists, Jews, atheists and agnostics are taking up their pens to paint a portrait of Jesus.

You can be creative in anything - in math, science, engineering, philosophy - as much as you can in music or in painting or in dance.

We try to buy from living artists because we love to understand why they are painting or sculpting and get into their minds.

I've been trying to pick up painting but it's hard.

Every play I do, every book I write, every painting I paint, I will struggle with. I don't know what it's like for a project to come easy.

I used to do stop motion in my own garage and Claymation and all that stuff. That led to doing backgrounds and matte paintings. I started doing matte paintings professionally back before the computer, sort of painting on glass.

The world of painting has nothing to do with the art world.
