“I feel like there’s too many paintings left unpainted that I just don’t want to take the time away.”

I can remember walking on the moon.

I feel like everyone who goes to The University of Texas is blessed and lucky to be there because they’re getting a chance to be as good as they can be.

Eventually there are going to be cities in space.

History has spurts and then is steady, and then maybe even backing up a step, and then forward again.

It’s hard not to be excited when you’re going to find a way to land on the moon.

It seems farther away now because there are no rockets getting there. Nobody is going.

Frequently on the lunar surface I said to myself, ‘This is the Moon, that is the Earth. I’m really here, I’m really here!’

The moon is very rugged.

Test pilots have a litmus test for evaluating problems. When something goes wrong, they ask, “Is this thing still flying?

I found I have to stay painting.

I have the nicest life in the world.

But I found that being an artist and doing accurate work is very difficult.

If the answer is yes, then there’s no immediate danger, no need to overreact.

We knew it was going to be difficult to get to the moon. We didn’t know how difficult.

As the centuries unfold, millions of artists will live on the moon and paint the moon and Mars as we go out into the universe.

I think everything depends on money.

I’m not leaving until you tell me why you followed me. I know i’m a fascinating guy, but this is starting to feel like an unhealthy obsession.

Every time we hit an air pocket and the plane dropped about five hundred feet (leaving my stomach in my mouth)

This feeling African-Americans have, this skepticism towards the police and the skepticism that the police show towards African-Americans is actually quite old. And it may be one of the most durable aspects of the relationship between black people and their country really in our history.

Sometimes when you get hammered till the small hours you feel pretty good in the morning, but really it’s just because you’re still a bit drunk.

You feel like you and the boats are one, you feel that no obstacle will put up any more resistance than the water does to your oars, you feel that hard work and grit and mental toughness will always win it for you in the end.

I feel like with the history of this platform, from vinyl to where we are now, it just seems like the next logical step.

Children, I feel, are as much entitled to privacy as human beings.

I didn’t feel self conscious ’cause my sisters and I all had thick brows, and by the time I got to the age that I could be self conscious about them, they were in style!
