I love Christmas tree bulbs, and I started putting them in my paintings. You've got to plug this painting in, and it's got a rig in the back, so that each one can be replaced if it burns out.
Intuition is the key to everything, in painting, filmmaking, business - everything. I think you could have an intellectual ability, but if you can sharpen your intuition, which they say is emotion and intellect joining together, then a knowingness occurs.
I don't think it was pain that made [Vincent Van Gogh] great - I think his painting brought him whatever happiness he had.

Feeling correct is a feeling I think everyone knows.
Every viewer is going to get a different thing. That's the thing about painting, photography, cinema.
