I would have liked maybe to be in architecture or painting something connected to the fine arts.

Engineering medicine business architecture and painting are concerned not with the necessary but with the contingent - not with how things are but with how they might be - in short with design.

A man of eighty has outlived probably three new schools of painting two of architecture and poetry and a hundred in dress.

I paint mostly from real life. It has to start with that. Real people real street scenes behind the curtain scenes live models paintings photographs staged setups architecture grids graphic design. Whatever it takes to make it work.

The greatest advances of civilization whether in architecture or painting in science and literature in industry or agriculture have never come from centralized government.

Painting is the most magical of mediums. The transcendence is truly amazing to me every time I go to a museum and I see how somebody figured another way to rub colored dirt on a flat surface and make space where there is no space or make you think of a life experience.

When I work alone my process is like painting. With Fleetwood Mac it's more like movie making.

All still lifes are actually paintings of the world on the sixth day of creation when God and the world were alone together without man!

I grew up loving horses. I was relatively obsessed starting with my rocking horse at age 2 all the way through my painting and drawing phase.

Photography suits the temper of this age - of active bodies and minds. It is a perfect medium for one whose mind is teeming with ideas imagery for a prolific worker who would be slowed down by painting or sculpting for one who sees quickly and acts decisively accurately.
