I love filmmaking, and I love the process. And I would rather do nothing else. It's a privilege to be able to paint such big pictures, so to speak.
Bryan Singer

I make movies just as painters paint: I work where I can.
Jean-Jacques Annaud

I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality.
Frida Kahlo

I paint a slice of life, whatever it is that day.
Geoffrey Holder

I paint abstract expressions.
Billy Zane

I paint according to the moment and the theme. I don't have any prejudice. Life concerns me.
Ralph Allen

I paint and sculpt to get a grip on reality... to protect myself.
Alberto Giacometti

I paint as if I were Rothschild.
Paul Cezanne

I paint because I love to cut mats.
Arthur Alexander

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 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 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 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 what cannot be photographed, that which comes from the imagination or from dreams, or from an unconscious drive.
Man Ray

I paint what I see, not what a camera would see.
John Dyer
