Some people remember me for my color; some people remember me as a friend.

I am very concerned about our planet and am about respecting all living things.

As I create art, it is like a love affair. My days go by loving what I do.

I met Carl Sagan quite a few times - a fantastic and amazing person. I love him. Neil deGrasse Tyson is a good friend, too.

My biggest love is still planets and stars. If I hadn't become an artist, I'd be an astronomer because I still love it so much.

I've done 44 portraits of Obama because he's the 44th president.

When I wake up, I can't wait to get to the studio, go into the paint room.

I studied realism when I was in art school.

Marlon Brando came up to me many, many years ago. He wanted me to do a little doodle for him on the back of an airline ticket.

Seven days a week, I'm always drawing, doodling, or painting, whether I'm in the studio or on a plane.
