- Future
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

My latest decorating obsession is dipping - like painting the bottom of things. I've done it to almost every terra-cotta pot in my house. Every African vase I have is painted gold on the bottom.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I didn't do so well in the academic world, so I think the only way I could express myself was through visual art - anything I could get my hands on, whether it was glassblowing, sculpture, painting, or photography. I always wanted to be a painter. Or a farmer.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think it's a bit like saying a painter does a painting everyone loves and it's 40% blue paint, so from now on you have to paint paintings that are 40% blue. That's the film industry at its most blunt, which is why it's constantly bats and spiders and superheroes.
- Music

I love my painting - it fills me with passion. But it's not something I expect anyone else to love.

- |

- Mind
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Only
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Love
- |

- Nov 07, 2020
The day the producers aren't minting money, or the fans are done with me and, most of all, I as a person get bored of acting, I will stop and pursue my other interests. There is a lot to do: painting, writing, direction.
- Drawing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When children draw or do rudimentary painting, the whole human being develops an interest in what is being done. This is why we should allow writing to develop from drawing.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Drawing
- |

- Drawing
- |

I've never done an anguished painting.
- Question
- |

- Paint
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I started to do these Pop paintings seriously, I used all these other paintings - the abstract ones - as mats. I was painting in the bedroom, and I put them on the floor so I wouldn't get paint on the floor. They got destroyed.

- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I much prefer playing the bad guys. I think they are always the most interesting characters. I liken it to painting: if you're playing the good guy, you get three colors: red, white and blue. But if you're the bad guy, you get the whole palette.
