I like dirty boys. Mechanics, construction workers, artists who get paint and clay everywhere. They gotta have rough hands.

I love people where, at the end of the day, they'll pick up a paintbrush and paint clouds. They can physically make things.

If Britney Spears would paint her ass green, I'm sure you would spot green asses all over L.A., as soon as the word was out.

Often, contrasts bring art to life: the bright speck of paint on a dark canvas; the tightrope walk between humor and tragedy.

Definitely, my whole life I've played as a point guard. I've tried to get in the paint, and I've tried to develop for others.

Designers are not artists. They may have the talent of one, but if they want to work in that way they should paint or sculpt.

I can shoot, or I can roll, I can finish inside, I can take two-point shots, I can switch on defence and I can protect the paint.

Women are not in love with me but with the picture of me on the screen. I am merely the canvas on which women paint their dreams.

Oftentimes I feel like I can, through the music, paint a picture of something that I can't look anywhere and see in my real life.
