Dance looks absurd on film, I think, like little puppets moving around.

Jamie Wyeth

The real kiss of death - particularly with my father - is the extraordinary popularity of his work.

Jamie Wyeth

I view anything on this farm as model. I actually painted Union Rags as a yearling.

Jamie Wyeth

I have continued to paint; my father - who was savaged by the critics - continued to paint until practically the last week of his life.

Jamie Wyeth

My father, whose work I adore... was down working on little things of grass and dead birds. Well, that didn't interest me. As an 8-year-old kid, I wanted knights in armor and so forth.

Jamie Wyeth

The quality I most loved in Warhol - it was his sense of wonder. I mean, he was - absolutely everything was, 'Oh my God, isn't that wonderful!'. You know, and so it wasn't that he was cool and kind of calculated at all. He was very childlike.

Jamie Wyeth

I immediately doubt things if I become satisfied with them. Being satisfied by something is a real danger for me. I hope I never lose that. That would be death.

Jamie Wyeth

I'm not just interested in fascinating faces or trees. I want to bore in deeper.

Growing up in Chadds Ford, Pa., I shuttled between studio space in my parents' house and my grandfather's studio just up the hill. It was a solitary childhood, but I loved it.

Jamie Wyeth

I began drawing when I was nearly 3, and after finishing the sixth grade, I left school to paint and was tutored at home. My father didn't think a formal education was necessary for a painter.

Jamie Wyeth

My sketchbooks are usually just a line on one page or a circle, which to most people must be totally meaningless. But to me, they are very important to the thing I am working on.

Jamie Wyeth

I have copies of the books my grandfather illustrated for Scribner's in each house. I read those books all the time.

Jamie Wyeth

I paint every day. I really have no hobbies. That's all I do.

Jamie Wyeth

I'm a very strange painter. I don't wake up one day and say, 'God, isn't this a fantastic day, I'd better get out and paint!' I think my father's more that way, because he's very fast.

Jamie Wyeth

I have hundreds of art books and the biographies of artists I love, such as Thomas Eakins and Edgar Degas.

Jamie Wyeth

I never knew my grandfather. He died the year before I was born. But as a child, he did, of course, those wonderful illustrations, 'Treasure Island,' and whatnot.

Jamie Wyeth

Oddly enough, my grandfather probably had more of an influence on me than my father.

Jamie Wyeth

My father's like - it's as if he was transparent. He's a man of great mystery, whereas apparently N.C. Wyeth was 6-feet, 2-inches tall, with a booming voice. I think that's reflected in their work.

Jamie Wyeth

My aunt Caroline was really a character. She lived and worked in my grandfather's old house and even wore some of his clothes.

Jamie Wyeth

Really, if you get to know pigs, they're very moody. They're not sweet little animals at all. That's what I like about them. They get depressed; they get into these snits. They're carnivorous.

Jamie Wyeth

The things that I paint are things that I know very well.

Jamie Wyeth

As a child, I always wanted to live on a boat.

Jamie Wyeth

We lived in my father's studio, so there were the brushes and the pencils and the paint. So it would - it was very natural for me to want to paint, I think, and it was never a question.

Jamie Wyeth

Animals are not cute. They are disturbing. Pigs do eat their young. Actually, I hate pigs. I just happen to have some who are friends of mine.

Jamie Wyeth

The problem with having the name Wyeth is that immediately, when people hear the name, they all of a sudden see weathered barns in a field or something.

Jamie Wyeth

Being a painter is the only profession where you have to stand there with all your shortcomings on the wall.

Jamie Wyeth

I learned from a longtime farmer that pigs enjoy soothing music.
