I Love The Passion You Go Through

I Guess I Created Leroy Neiman. Nobody Else Told Me How To Do It. Well, I'm A Believer In The Theory That The Artist Is As Important As His Work.

The People Who Love My Paintings, That Respond To Them The Most, They're Spectators, They're Not Viewers.

Throughout My Life, Cigars Have Played Different Roles For Me. They Fit Easily And Well In The Various Stages And Experiences Ive Had -- Like A Companion, Almost. If Youve Smoked A Long Time, As I Have, They Become Part Of You.

You Can't Take Yourself Too Seriously.

I Have Always Said To Young Artists That Scholastic Training And The Studying Of Art History Are Crucial To Fully Developing As An Artist.
