“I can remember walking on the moon.”

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

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.

But I’m the only one who can paint the moon, because I’m the only one who knows whether that’s right or not.
