I paint from the top down. From the sky, then the mountains, then the hills, then the houses, then the cattle, and then the people.
‐‐ Grandma Moses
I paint German artists whom I admire. I paint their pictures, their work as painters, and their portraits too. But oddly enough, each of these portraits ends up as a picture of a woman with blonde hair. I myself have never been able to work out why this happens.
‐‐ Georg Baselitz
I paint; I draw and paint - I've been doing that since I was in third grade, drawing realistically and then changing to abstract art. That was my first creative thing before guitar or comedy.
‐‐ Steven Wright
I paint. I have been painting since I was kid. If I hadn't gone into radio when I did, I probably would have come out of the Army, gone into the art business, and probably would have flopped because I'm not that great.
‐‐ Bob Elliott
I paint. I love the visual arts.
‐‐ Kristin Bauer van Straten
I paint. I still do it every day. I never neglected it. It's a gift. It's almost like religion for me. It's the quickest way for me to become still.
‐‐ Taylor Negron
I paint - I tend more to abstraction - but not as much as I would like to because of time. I would love to do sculpture - I've toyed with the idea of fitting in a sculpture course.
‐‐ Lily Cole
I paint in acrylic and sometimes in oil. Sometimes I'll paint my kids. And I'll occasionally do some photography.
‐‐ Jim Lee
I paint landscapes, figuratives. I painted all my life. In fact, I started as a commercial artist.
‐‐ Pierce Brosnan
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.
‐‐ Bob Dylan
I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.
‐‐ Frida Kahlo
I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.
‐‐ Pablo Picasso
I paint on the ground. I paint with sticks, with big paint cans, and whatever else falls in it. Basically, what I'm doing is capturing unbridled emotion and putting it on canvas. It's like capturing lightning in a bottle.
‐‐ Richard Grieco
I paint people not because of what they are like, not exactly in spite of what they are like, but how they happen to be.
‐‐ Lucian Freud
I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.
‐‐ Frida Kahlo
I paint stupid things; that's what I do. I can't think of anything more boring than a really beautiful thing. You have to mess it up. There has to be something a little kinky to keep their attention.
‐‐ Billy Al Bengston
I paint things as they are. I don't comment.
‐‐ Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
I paint to evoke a changing language of symbols, a language with which to remark upon the qualities of our mysterious capacities which direct us toward ultimate reality.
‐‐ Morris Graves
I paint to rest from the phenomena of the external world-to pronounce and to make notations of its essences with which to verify the inner eye.
‐‐ Morris Graves
I paint very messy. I throw paint around. So when I let myself do the same sort of thing with my writing, and I would just write and write and write and revise, that's when I found my rhythm in writing.
‐‐ Erin Morgenstern
I paint what cannot be photographed, that which comes from the imagination or from dreams, or from an unconscious drive.
‐‐ Man Ray
I paint what I like, when I like and where I like.
‐‐ David Hockney
I paint what I see, not what a camera would see.
‐‐ John Dyer
I paint with shapes.
‐‐ Alexander Calder
I painted billboards above every candy store in Brooklyn.
‐‐ James Rosenquist
I painted. I wanted to be a painter. I sang.
‐‐ Hugo Chavez
I painted myself into a corner by writing a whole book on this one period. The summer of 1927 came to an end, but nothing else did - all of these peoples' lives went on.
‐‐ Bill Bryson
I painted one dining room red and I must say, the conversation became very heated in that room.
‐‐ Amanda Pays
I painted sets before I ever performed.
‐‐ Christopher Guest
I painted the Astor-Victoria sign seven times, and it's 395 feet wide and 58 feet high. I dropped a gallon of purple paint on Seventh Avenue and 47th Street from 15 stories up and didn't kill anybody. I dropped a brush at Columbus Circle. It fell on a guy's camel-hair coat.
‐‐ James Rosenquist
I painted the picture, and in the colors the rhythm of the music quivers. I painted the colors I saw.
‐‐ Edvard Munch
I painted with my husband a portrait of a naked Serge Gainsbourg draped with a French flag, and it hangs in our bedroom. I love gritty and dark art like what the German couple Herakut does.
‐‐ Stephanie Szostak
I panicked when my son, Jett, stopped eating baby food. He's only two, but his food vocabulary is fantastic. He likes my baked tilapia and string beans with chopped garlic. But he really likes pizza. Sometimes every inanimate object to him is pizza.
‐‐ Jill Scott
I parade in next to no clothes every day. It's hard not to compare yourself to other people, but I think everyone is different, and that is something we should be celebrating.
‐‐ Cate Campbell
I park two blocks away from Nickelodeon studios and I hop on my skateboard and I skateboard the rest of the way to the studio.
‐‐ Greg Cipes
I parle Francais like a Spanish cow.
‐‐ Israel Horovitz
I parody myself every chance I get. I try to make fun of myself and let people know that I'm a human being, and these things that have happened to me are real. I'm not just some cartoon who exists and suddenly doesn't exist.
‐‐ Gary Coleman
I part of this great nation because my grandfather was born here, in Cincinnati, Ohio. He took a horse, back in 1895, and ride it all the way down to Guanajuato, looking for his American dream. No penny in his pocket, only dreams in his head. And he was an immigrant coming from the States into Mexico. And he found his American dream in Mexico.
‐‐ Vicente Fox
I part-own a bookshop for some strange coincidence of reasons, and it is one of the best things I part-own in my life, or own in my life. I do not know, it just feels great.
‐‐ Lily Cole
I parted ways with the Congress, a party that I served for so many years, because its leadership constantly humiliated me by ignoring my talent both as a leader and an administrator.
‐‐ Satpal Maharaj
I participate in the SNAP Challenge to raise awareness about the millions of people in our communities who struggle with hunger on a daily basis despite living in the most prosperous nation ever known.
‐‐ Ted Deutch
I participated on debating teams and in student government, and served as senior class president.
‐‐ Paul D. Boyer
I particularly admire are Mark Twain and Jerome K. Jerome who wrote in a certain tone of voice which was humane and understanding of humanity, but always ready to annotate its little foibles. I think I'd lay my cards down on that, and say that it's that that I'm trying to do.
‐‐ Terry Pratchett
I particularly don't want to play unmotivated behavior.
‐‐ Michael Zaslow
I particularly enjoy cello music because our daughter plays the cello. I have listened to her practice for so many hours that I am familiar with the music written for that instrument. I am also fond of the popular music of the 1930s because my future husband and I danced to it so many Saturday nights when we were in college.
‐‐ Beverly Cleary
I particularly felt that my job in management was safe from the incursion of machines with friendly faces painted on the front of their heads, or whatever you call the metal constructions atop their shoulders, if those are indeed shoulders.
‐‐ Stanley Bing
I particularly like Facebook because it straddles the gap between seeing people and not seeing them.
‐‐ Chris Benz
I particularly like Hershey's chocolate, the kind which has almonds in it.
‐‐ Jack Jones
I particularly like to make crunchy slices of garlic bread to serve with steamed clams.
‐‐ Tom Douglas
I particularly like to travel for work because you see a completely different side of the country you're visiting.
‐‐ Philip Treacy
