Paloma Picasso

I've always been proud that my name stands for peace.

People say, 'Oh, to be the daughter of Picasso!' But it's not as extravagant as it seems. He was very special, very vibrant, but he was my father. I didn't have another.

I've heard my work called 'bold' and 'graffiti-like,' but for me it is always instinctual. I start with a shape or a colour and go from there.

Whoever grows angry amid troubles applies a drug worse than the disease and is a physician unskilled about misfortunes.

The blessing that this film business has given me is that when I walk into a school I automatically have everyone's attention. They want to hear what the guy from 'Con Air' and 'Desperado' has to say.

There's never been anything I didn't love that I didn't connect with on a personal level because, to some degree, I projected upon it.
