- If it (success) comes too fast, too quickly, and you're young, it's not necessarily good. I've been lucky. I've had ups and downs, but I keep going forward.
- I don't like anyone to see me painting. I paint in the nude, at 4 a.m.! It's a sacred, private thing. For me, when I paint, it's just me and the paint and the powers that be coming through me - and the three of us work together.
