I was the youngest of four kids, and Dad, who had a garden centre before he retired, came from a large Lancashire family. Every one of my uncles had their own business, including a post office, two fish and chip shops and a painting and decorating business.

Rick Astley

I had a wife, kids and a mortgage and my acting career was nowhere, so I was painting and decorating people's homes.

Charley Boorman

I think a good painting or a good work of art does many things it wants, I mean, maybe 15 or 20 or 100. One of the things a painting does is to make the room look better. It improves the wall that it's on. Which is much harder than it looks. And that's a good thing. And if one engages with a painting on that level, that's fine, that's great. After some time, familiarity, the other things that a painting does, the other layers, they just start to make themselves felt.

David Salle

Music is an amazing thing. I don't know if we really think about it the same way we consider a painting an amazing thing. I mean, a painting is, in quotes, imaginary. There is nothing on the canvas when you start; and writing a song, there is nothing there when you start.

Lou Reed

My dad is a carpenter, a joiner, and I used to watch him make things. So I always imagined that I'd do something where I made things, too. I was really more interested in architecture growing up because I would work with my dad on houses.

Christopher Bailey

A painter will paint a cobbler, carpenter, or any other artist, though he knows nothing of their arts; and, if he is a good artist, he may deceive children or simple persons, when he shows them his picture of a carpenter from a distance, and they will fancy that they are looking at a real carpenter.

Socrates

My dad was a carpenter and I would work with him during the summer and umpire on the nights I wasn't playing.

Jim Evans

Come to think of [a handsome young carpenter], Harrison Ford used to be a carpenter.

Carrie Fisher

My dad was a trained carpenter and worked for Vauxhall Motors. We had money, though not a great deal.

Paul Young

I come from an ordinary family - my dad is a carpenter, a roof-maker - and we've always loved racing together.

Sebastian Vettel

When Van Truex defined the difference between designing and decorating, he used the analogy of preparing a roast of beef. Design, he said, is the preparation and cooking; decorating is the final seasoning, the savoring.

Albert Hadley

I like building houses, working as a carpenter, painting. You work with your hands to the best of your ability, and at the end of the day, you go home with some satisfaction: 'I built that!'

Brian Fallon

Because I see my mum and dad as such amazing friends, I think I'll be a really good dad.

Gareth Gates

Painting doesn't have a function, not in the way that music or film does... I mean, you can dance to music. Music can be used for a soundtrack, so it has a function in that sense, beyond itself. But painting doesn't... But I do believe that painting has a purpose.
