They offered me that film before I did Frida and I said, no, I'm not capable of directing. Then after seeing Julie direct, I was inspired by it. She motivated me to do it, because we don't have role models as woman for directors.
If I ever loved a woman, the more I loved her, the more I wanted to hurt her. Frida was only the most obvious victim of this disgusting trait.
Some people are so heavenly minded that they are no earthly good.
I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.
I tried to drown my sorrows, but the bastards learned how to swim, and now I am overwhelmed by this decent and good feeling.
In every society some men are born to rule, and some to advise.
We have to make sure the Good Friday Agreement works.
There have been two great accidents in my life. One was the trolley, and the other was Diego. Diego was by far the worst.
Painting completed my life.
Fridays are the hardest in some ways: you’re so close to freedom.
I never accepted the idea that I had to be guided by some pattern or blueprint.
The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.
I love you more than my own skin.
Friday night is our date night. We really carve out time for each other.
My painting carries with it the message of pain.
July 13, 1954 was the most tragic day of my life. I had lost my beloved Frida forever. To late now I realized that the most wonderful part of my life had been my love for Frida.
I leave you my portrait so that you will have my presence all the days and nights that I am away from you.
