Chuck Close Quotes

“In life you can be dealt a winning hand of cards and you can find a way to lose, and you can be dealt a losing hand and find a way to win. True in art and true in life: you pretty much make your own destiny. If you are by nature an optimistic person, which I am, that puts you in a better position to be lucky in life.”

“Every idea occurs while you are working. If you are sitting around waiting for inspiration, you could sit there forever.”
