I Have Always Said To Young Artists

You Know What I Like About San Francisco? The Women Are Beautiful, Fashionable And Smart. San Francisco Is One Of The Only Cities I Like To Visit. I Love New York And Chicago - I Studied There, And L.a. Has The Same People As New York.

When I Paint, I Seriously Consider The Public Presence Of A Person - The Surface Facade. I Am Less Concerned With How People Look When They Wake Up Or How They Act At Home. A Person's Public Presence Reflects His Own Efforts At Image Development.

It's A Nice Feeling To Go Out In The World And Look For Excellence - The Best In Man. My Subject Is Very Valid. It's About People, And About Life.

Some People Try To Paint In My Style. Some Simply Sell Pirated Copies Of My Work. Some Claim To Be My Publisher Or Agent Or Even My Exclusive Representative, When They Are Not.

There's No Greatest Moment In The Arts. It's A Life; It's A Continuity Thing. You Can't Have A Great Moment Because It's Spiritual. It's A Belief; It's A Calling. If You're An Artist, Doing Your Own Thing On Your Own, It's While You're Doing It That Counts. It's A Process. If You Get Too Elated, You Can Get Too Depressed.
