The essence of paint ball is the fact that when you get hit by a ball full of paint, it hurts just enough to say, 'Ow, I gotta get out of the way,' but not enough to say, 'I quit.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The ball touched the paint a lot of times. When we talk about touching the paint, the ball touches the key for making a layup or making a play for a teammate. We've got to use our length and our speed. Defensively, getting deflections. Give up one shot and rebound.
If I paint something, I don't want to have to explain what it is.
So when I'm playing, I'm sort of painting a feeling in the air.
My painting teacher in high school used to say, 'I can't paint like I want to, but through practice I'll get better.' But I don't think that's true. I think sometimes you just can't paint.
It has bothered me all my life that I do not paint like everybody else.
See, when I paint, it is an experience that, at its best, is transcending reality.
Painting is almost like a sport. It's like this action thing. When I do it, I'm really not thinking. The paintings are like a diary that I might not want to read again.
My painting carries with it the message of pain.
I don't know why I paint what I paint. I think it comes out - it's kind of my subconscious or something.
I really enjoy squeezing out a big lump of paint directly onto the canvas and leaving it; fresh, immediate and sometimes shocking.
