I'm 38 years old and Limp Bizkit is just something I do. If I was a painter, it would just be a type of painting I make.
To put down an ideogram of a table so that people will recognize it as a table is not the work of a painter, but to sense it for a moment as a magic carpet with a leg hanging down at each corner is the beginning of a painter's imagination.
There is nothing that special to see when looking at me. I'm a painter who paints day in day out, from morning till evening - figure pictures and landscapes, more rarely portraits.
If I had parallel lives to pursue, I would also want one as a painter.
Knowing what paint a painter uses or having an understanding of where he was in the history of where he came from doesn't hurt your appreciation of the painting.
I'm related to the portrait painter George Romney.
I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.
The final test of a painting, theirs, mine, any other, is: does the painter's emotions come across?
It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to speak or write very often about his job. It releases tension needed for his work.
In fact, I thought my calling was to be a painter.
I think a poet, like a painter, should be a craftsperson.
I grew up painting and playing piano so when I was a little kid I thought I was going to be an artist or a painter but my mom had me taking piano lessons for about 10-12 years as a young kid.
With a painter or a sculptor, one cannot begin to alter his works, but an architect has to put up with anything, because he makes utility objects - the building is there to be used, and times change.
I always thought that one of the reasons why a painter likes especially to have other painters look at his or her work is the shared experience of having pushed paint around.
A thousand painters ought to be killed yearly. Say what you like: I'm every inch a painter.
I am just doing photo shoots. It's not something that extraordinary. I'm not a great artist, I'm not writing books, I'm not a painter, and people in the streets ask me for a picture or a note, and I say, 'Why?'
When I said I no longer wanted to be a painter, that I wanted to be an actor, the first thing I did was get a stinking job in an insurance building.
It's like a painter with various layers of paint. I start with a drum loop and add keyboards, and then melodies start to take shape. The vocals happen later. I've never really done therapy before, but it's a form of therapy. Everything else falls away.
I'm inspired by artists who use a limited palette, like painter Piet Mondrian, and the White Stripes, two musicians who create an incredible sound. Our food is starting to go back to a 'less is more' style.

Every song has a composer, every book has an author, every car has a maker, every painting has a painter, and every building has a builder. So it isn't irrational to take this simple logic a little further and say that nature must have had a Maker. It would be irrational to believe that it made itself.
Color possesses me. I don't have to pursue it. It will possess me always, I know it. That is the meaning of this happy hour: Color and I are one. I am a painter.
My parents divorced. There was the usual awkward business of going between them, but I was mostly with my mother. She remarried to a Greek painter Nico Ghika, so we were always around artists and intellectuals.
The humblest painter is a true scholar; and the best of scholars the scholar of nature.
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.
Sculpture is the best comment that a painter can make on painting.
The anarchist painter is not the one who will create anarchist pictures, but the one who will fight with all his individuality against official conventions.
The painter must enclose himself within his work; he must respond not with words, but with paintings.
Bowie is a musician, but he works like a painter. Thom always thought that we should aspire to that.
I continue to get further away from the usual painter's tools such as easel, palette, brushes, etc.
I'm glad movies aren't going to please everybody, they can't. But what they have to be is recognisable. I don't equate myself with a master painter, but I think you can recognise my films.
If you're a painter, you're not alone. There's no way to be alone.
Well, in order for me to be successful... In order to be a great artist - musician, actor, painter, whatever - you must be able to be private in public at all times.
