HEART EVANGELISTA

What inspires me to paint is life, my emotions, through my paintings I want people to understand that life isn't always happy but you should be always hopeful that's why I use bright colors in my paintings, that's what I want people to feel about me and when they see my art.

If there's anything I can promise is that I'm gonna paint till the last breath.

My grandfather used to own a production company called Everlasting Pictures. I grew up with a lot of artistas and reporters and I'd always be starstruck.

I'm not against divorce, but I do believe it's really not a joke to find a life partner. In fact, better be alone and take your time rather than complicate things.

A beautiful face with a sexy body is a dime a dozen in showbiz. When you have magnetic personality, you beat everybody else.

Before getting married, I was never really able to travel because of work and I was always with my parents.

I think women should be there for each other and to support each other.

No matter how beautiful you are you, if you don't know how to handle yourself, it will just show... You don't have to have perfect features... It's really just your disposition.

You're only young once and you can't turn back the hands of time.

Heart is tied with a lot of controversies, a lot of heartbreaks in show business. With 'Love Marie' who I really am in the real world. I feel more free, I feel more clean. I feel like people don't judge me, and that is why I shy away from being Heart when it comes to my painting.

A lot of people tell me that my paintings are sad-looking, but they're actually more pensive than sad. They're very colorful and that says a lot about my disposition in life, how I'm very hopeful.

I'm very transparent. What you see is what you get. 'I date this person, this happened to me' and I have to be honest about it... because of that I developed a backbone.

It's not in what you wear but how you handle yourself. Like Hollywood celebrity Lindsay Lohan, I used to like her a lot because of her great fashion style but look at her attitude. Fashion is also about knowing what's right and doing what is right.

My mom's a collector and my dad is also into jewelry. When I was young, my dad would buy my mom loose stones and she would design them and do the settings and everything. So I kinda grew up with that kind of love for anything sparkly.

I super love makeup, but I'm not the type who would wear a lot of it.

A life is a life and should never be trivialised for the sake of art or what have you.

I like myself. I love myself.

They say you'll be blooming when you're in love; I agree, but what is important to bloom is taking care of yourself, too.

Before when I said I'm going to get married, I thought my life is going to be peaceful. But then, I ended up with a politician so it slightly got a little complicated.

In every relationship you go through really tough times.

Dogs give us unconditional love.

I think it's when you take care of yourself, you love yourself that you truly bloom and look your most beautiful.

It's hard for me to lie, I'd stumble with my words if I tried to lie.

Mainly as an artist, I like to wear colors. I like to see colors, and it really helps my mood.

I would be more angry if an animal were treated cruelly than people, because people can defend themselves.
