I'm very interested to see how this new painting will go - I know I want it big and stark, and as I said, I follow the muse, and that's when it always works perfectly for me.
From Jackie DeShannon
I went to art school, I think it helped me a great deal because it taught me who I am.
I was lucky enough to first meet Elvis at his house in Bel Air and he used to invite different artists, singers and musicians, to come and jam with him at his house.
I think, describing Elvis for me would be a very generous king. He was the king of rock and roll, will always be. He's whats made it possible for everyone to be performers and to do the things they do now.
I think to just single out a highlight of Elvis's career is pretty much impossible. As far as being a fan of his, a lifetime fan, there were just too many highlights.
I think Ingmar Bergman, Francoise Truffaut - all these people created images in my mind, beautiful pictures, I loved what was known at that time as the foreign film.
I mean, I can sit down with a guitar, and in fact, we do two, three songs with just guitar and percussion.
I always went with my agenda, I just couldn't execute it.
Elvis was, at least the times I was around him, Elvis was a practical joker. He was always, had some little mischievous something going.
And unless you have that sense of being creative, people think you're just working all the time.
