A collection makes its own demands. Many artists have been collectors. I think of it rather as an illness. I felt it was using up too much energy. ↗

I don't look at the work of my contemporaries very much; I tend to look at pictures by dead artists. It's much easier to get near their paintings. ↗

Being Southern and being the guy I've been all my life, I've lived more on the lighter side of life. I have a dark side, but that's not where I come from. A lot of artists like to come from that. ↗

I've grown up with country music. I love how real everybody is, not just the artists, but the fans. ↗

I want to prove a point. That point is, actors are artists, not narcissists necessarily. ↗
