This is your bravery test. You worked so hard and then a crazy-haired guy tells you to throw in a big ol' tree on top of it all.
Take a two-inch brush.

Let's get a little crazy here.

There's nothing wrong with having a tree as a friend.

We get letters every day from people wanting more mountains. As many as I paint, they still say, 'Give me more mountains.'

You can do ANYTHING you want to do-This is your World.

Talk to the tree, make friends with it.

Never think about the mistakes you made. Think about the mistakes you will make.

Remember, you can do anything in your world that you want to.

I never turn down requests for interviews. I'm just rarely asked.

We don't laugh because we feel good; we feel good because we laugh.

Most painters want recognition, especially by their peers.

I tell people, 'You can do this.' And they write back and say, 'You were right. I can do this. And now I believe I can do anything.'

If you do too much it's going to lose its effectiveness.

All you need to paint is a few tools, a little instruction, and a vision in your mind.

I started painting as a hobby when I was little. I didn't know I had any talent. I believe talent is just a pursued interest. Anybody can do what I do.

You need the dark in order to show the light.

I guess I'm a little weird. I like to talk to trees and animals. That's okay though; I have more fun than most people.

We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents.

I was the guy who makes you scrub the latrine, the guy who makes you make your bed, the guy who screams at you for being late to work. The job requires you to be a mean, tough person. And I was fed up with it. I promised myself that if I ever got away from it, it wasn't going to be that way any more.

The secret to doing anything is believing that you can do it. Anything that you believe you can do strong enough, you can do. Anything. As long as you believe.
