Well, I've been painting for years. I just started doing a lot more in the last couple.

In my previous life, I was an artist. I still paint. I love art.

I found I have to stay painting.

Do not think that I have stopped painting, for at any moment, I am liable to paint a good picture.

It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.

I still paint. I love the joy that color can give to our lives and to our communities. I try to bring something of the artist in me to my politics.

I stopped painting in 1990 at the peak of my success just to deny people my beautiful paintings, and I did it out of spite.

Don't be an art critic. Paint. There lies salvation.

I've been painting and making things since I was little.

I paint. I still do it every day. I never neglected it. It's a gift. It's almost like religion for me. It's the quickest way for me to become still.
