My hobbies are painting, crafts, and I like golfing.

The paintings may communicate even better because people are lazy and they can look at a painting with less effort than they can read a poem.
Lawrence Ferlinghetti

You can't work in the movies. Movies are all about lighting. Very few filmmakers will concentrate on the story. You get very little rehearsal time, so anything you do onscreen is a kind of speed painting.
John Malkovich

Painting does what we cannot do - it brings a three-dimensional world into a two-dimensional plane.
Chuck Jones

Painting is really good fun, I have always enjoyed it. As long as I paint what I want with the freedom that I enjoy, I never tire.
John Dyer

I work on words, mostly, toward them being poetry or short stories, and then some of those become songs. They all find their place in the world, but they all start off in the same place. I'm always painting and drawing as well, and it's an ongoing creative assignment.
P. J. Harvey

Being in the studio is like painting, you know, you can really take your time, and try different things, and kind of go deep into it.
Rosanne Cash

If I didn't start painting, I would have raised chickens.
William Lyon Phelps

If I hadn't started painting, I would have raised chickens.
Grandma Moses

But painting can be too lonely... I like being with people too much to have ever made that my life's work.
Marie Windsor

My parents felt that acting was far too insecure. Don't ask me what made them think that painting would be more secure.
John Hurt

Painting pictures didn't make me a lot of money. I have to eat.
Ralph Bakshi

I have generally found that persons who had studied painting least were the best judges of it.
William Hogarth

Painting is sometimes like those recipes where you do all manner of elaborate things to a duck, and then end up putting it on one side and only using the skin.
Lucian Freud

The majority of my work is from life. I spend most fine days from May to October painting outside.
John Dyer

I think music has gone through a period of something very severe, rather radical, rather the way painting did with cubism.
Harrison Birtwistle

I'm very interested to see how this new painting will go - I know I want it big and stark, and as I said, I follow the muse, and that's when it always works perfectly for me.
Jackie DeShannon

I was influenced by surrealist poetry and painting as were thousands of other people, and it seems to me to have become a part of the way I write, but it's not.
Kenneth Koch

The way I create music is maybe like a painting, to compose in a more visual way. Basically it's the music that I want to hear- that's my inspiration and bottom line. I just try to get ideas from books, movies, paintings.
Ikue Mori

I studied all about Gauguin. He was a banker. He was a banker who - he used to paint on Sundays. And one day he hated himself for painting on Sundays.
Anthony Quinn
