It Has Been Difficult To Hold Onto

Some People Try To Paint In My Style. Some Simply Sell Pirated Copies Of My Work. Some Claim To Be My Publisher Or Agent Or Even My Exclusive Representative, When They Are Not.

Eating Is One Of The Great Beauties In Life. One Of My Favorite Recreations... Eating With Friends, The Service, The Ambience.

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.

When I Paint, I Seriously Consider The Public Presence Of A Person - The Surface Facade. I Am Less Concerned With How People Look When They Wake Up Or How They Act At Home. A Person's Public Presence Reflects His Own Efforts At Image Development.

I Can Easily Ignore My Detractors And Feel The People Who Respond Favorably.
