Art is very tricky because it's what you do for yourself. It's much harder for me to make those works than the monuments or the architecture.

Painting is something that requires a lot of time - it's not just one good idea out of art school.

I always feel like the art's there and I just see it, so it's not really a lot of work.

Unfortunately, we are not painters and authors, where we can do something in isolation. We require a lot of money to create what we create. It's almost like being an architect: You can't be an architect and build whatever buildings you want to.

I wanted to be complete, because I figured that, visually, there was an avenue to explore with painted stuff.

Often I feel that projects overwhelm us when we look at how many hours are involved until completion. But just getting started is usually not that difficult.

Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.

To paint is the most terrific thing that there is, but to do it well is very difficult.
