“Like all artists I want to cheat death a little and contribute something to the next generation.”  -Dennis Hopper



“I am just a middle-class farm boy from Dodge City and my grandparents were wheat farmers. I thought painting, acting, directing and photography was all part of being an artist. I have made my money that way. And I have had some fun. It’s not been a bad life.”  -Dennis Hopper
