I am a painter.

I have been a painter.

So I went off to Stanford, which even back when I did it, it was kind of expensive.

And I wanted to be an art major.

My dad was a pretty practical guy.

And he said, look, if you want to be an art major, you need to come back and go to UMass.

I'm not paying for Stanford.

But I found this design thing and that was pretty cool.

Because the art design major was a combination of art and engineering and psychology.

But I did make a promise to that 18-year-old kid that someday I'd be an artist.

And so I have a studio and painting is my thing.

And when I'm in the studio painting, that is, I don't know if I'm any good.

I don't care.

Robert Henry is a famous painting school in New York in the 1920s.

His phrase was, the goal isn't to make art.

The goal is to be in that marvelous state of mind that makes art inevitable.

Yeah.
