I also paint and enjoy acrylic medium; some of my close friends have paintings I did for them.

I had tried painting, mostly to give myself a greater appreciation of the craft and to inform how I looked at paintings. That led to collaging some of the work I had done on paper, and I found myself mixing in found pieces as well.

Painting is a hobby for me.

My primary thing is to make a painting, not necessarily to make a painting to sell for gazillions of dollars, but just to make a painting.

I love painting and have a need to do it.

I make movies just as painters paint: I work where I can.

I paint for the sheer joy of painting. I have never sold any of my paintings. I'd rather give them to people for free.

I would begin by collecting lithographs and etchings. It's a way of coming in and benefiting from real quality art. Even younger artists make wonderful prints. Prints can become very valuable. That's how I began collecting.

You can spend your money on art works and sit down and look at them. Or you can use your money to help people.

I love to sell, to visualize something for someone and make them see it.
