Honestly, the world can be a dark enough place. Light it up.
I never learned to ride a bicycle, and it is too late now. I never learned to drive. I never learned to swim.
Painting doesn't freeze time. It circulates and recycles time like a wheel that turns. Those who were first might well be last. Painting is a very slow art. It doesn't travel with the speed of light. That's why dead painters shine so bright.
There is no beauty, if it doesn't show some of the terribleness of life.
No painting can exist without the tension of what it figures and what it concretely consists of. The pleasure of what it could mean and the pain of what it's not.
What a funny thing painting is. The abstract painters always insist on their connection with the visible reality, while the so called figurative artists insist that what they really care about, is the abstract qualities of life.
My best works are erotic displays of mental confusions. . with intrusions of irrelevant information.
Children need both latitude of expression and firmly enforced limits on their behaviors, in a blend that results in calm, patientmanagement. The key to success is to tailor the rearing environment to the developmental level of the child--what she or he can handle--and to individual differences among children.
The big thing with all parents is they just want to be left alone. I want no demands. That's the best gift for Father's Day, just leave them alone.
I never want to impose my will on a community because even though I am the director of the movie, I can't direct them to be any more like themselves than they are. So it's very helpful to me because I can see the truth of their lives and their world right in front of me.
Life is a combination of destiny and free will. Rain is destiny; whether you get wet or not is free will!
