I think songwriters are more related to fiction writers. The Odyssey was a story in song. To me, that's so beautiful, all those painted characters, all those travels and adventures.
Regina Spektor

I wanted to be complete, because I figured that, visually, there was an avenue to explore with painted stuff.
Bill Sienkiewicz

I was brought up in industrial south Lancashire, down the cobbled road from where LS Lowry (1887-1976) lived and painted.
Ian McKellen

I went to an art school in Brooklyn and painted Fine Art, if that's what you'd call it for eight years in New York, until I saw the first underground comics in the East Village Other.
Bill Griffith

I'd never painted anything before. I was quite content to take other people's work since I didn't care anyway about the subject matter. I approached subject matter as a scoundrel. I had nothing to say about it whatsoever. I only wanted to make these exciting paintings.
Tom Wesselmann

If no one ever took risks, Michaelangelo would have painted the Sistine floor.
Neil Simon

Imagination is the key to my lyrics. The rest is painted with a little science fiction.
Jimi Hendrix

In this movie they took them up in space. They're floating around and doing zero gravity stuff. Well, they had to do it all on wires. All the wires had to be painted black against this black background. If you didn't light it properly you could see the wires. Drove them crazy!
John Badham

It is a widely accepted notion among painters that it does not matter what one paints as long as it is well painted. This is the essence of academicism.
Mark Rothko

It seems like if you are not painted up special way or have some tailor made outfit to put on to go out on stage... I don't know... there's too much of it out there.
Phil Anselmo

Let's look at people as artists and try to support them; just because Picasso painted a couple of bad paintings, that's no reason to say he's a lousy painter.
Steve Guttenberg

Most women are not as young as they are painted.
Max Beerbohm

Mourning Ruby is not a flat landscape: it is more like a box with pictures painted on every face. And each face is also a door which opens, I hope, to take the reader deep into the book.
Helen Dunmore

My grandfather gave me my first guitar, an old acoustic with palm trees and dancing girls painted on it.
Dan Fogelberg

No one has ever written, painted, sculpted, modeled, built, or invented except literally to get out of hell.
Antonin Artaud

Nudes are the greatest to paint. Everything you can find in a landscape or a still life or anything else is there: darkness and light, character dimension, texture. I painted heads too, of course.
John Hurt

Painting picture by picture, I followed the impressions my eye took in at heightened moments. I painted only memories, adding nothing, no details that I did not see. Hence the simplicity of the paintings, their emptiness.
Edvard Munch

Photograph: a picture painted by the sun without instruction in art.
Ambrose Bierce

Seeks painted trifles and fantastic toys, and eagerly pursues imaginary joys.
Mark Akenside

Some folks think I painted Lincoln from life, but I haven't been around that long. Not quite.
Norman Rockwell
