Diego Rivera

What do you care about my opinion? If you're a real painter, you'll paint because you can't live without painting. You'll paint till you die.

There was this skinny kid with these eyebrows shouting up at me, "Diego, I want to show you my paintings!" But, of course, she made me come down to her, and I did, and I've never stopped looking. But I want to speak about Frida not as her husband, but as an artist. I admire her. Her work is acid and tender… hard as steel… and fine as a butterfly's wing. Loveable as a smile… cruel as… the bitterness of life. I don't believe… that ever before has a women put such agonized poetry on canvas.

Before you came along, I was painting murals and womanizing in peace.

Lord Xolotl, Prince of darkness - you are the best art critic there is. Only you see what shit this country has made of me.

Sex is like pissing. People take it much too seriously.

Unfortunately, I'm physiologically incapable of fidelity.
