The View Of Life I

I Unconsciously Decided That, Even If It Wasn't An Ideal World, It Should Be. So I Painted Only The Ideal Aspects Of It - Pictures In Which There Are No Drunken Slatterns Or Self-centered Mothers... Only Foxy Grandpas Who Played Baseball With The Kids And Boys Who Fished From Logs And Got Up Circuses In The Backyard.

If There Was Sadness In This Creative World Of Mine, It Was A Pleasant Sadness. If There Were Problems, They Were Humorous Problems.

I Work From Fatigue To Fatigue At My Age There's Only So Much Daylight Left.

I Didn't Know What To Expect From A Famous Movie Star; Maybe That He'd Be Sort Of Stuck-up, You Know. But Not Gary Cooper. He Horsed Around So Much... That I Had A Hard Time Painting Him.

I'll Never Have Enough Time To Paint All The Pictures I'd Like To.
