"Paint what you see."
"Nobody wants to see that."
"Paint what you think people want to see."
"That's a sell-out."
"Paint what you think people need to see."
"That's preachy."
"Paint, um ... This is hard!"
"Isn't it, though."
"Paint what people would paint if people could paint whatever they want."
"Ooh. That's a good one. But no. Most people are boring. It'd be nothing but cats and porn."
"Paint what a space alien would paint if one came down to spend a couple of days in Manhattan."
"Nobody wants to see that."
"Didn't you already..?"
"Yeah. Same thing, really."
"I know. Paint what you think people would expect you to paint if they thought you were trying to paint something they wouldn't expect you to paint."
"Oh, that's good! I'll do that."
