Well, when I was 13, for my bar mitzvah I received my first typewriter. And that was special.

I was raised Jewish and bar mitzvahed.

I'm not a boy now. I'm a man, I hope. I hope I've had my artistic bar mitzvah somewhere.

I got his initials tattooed on the back of my neck, you know, since we both now have the same initials.

In the early Seventies, I had shoulder-length hair, bell-bottom pants, love beads and shirts that laced up at the front. But then I smartened up.

Every bar mitzvah I ever went to was, 'Here comes 'Oh, What a Night.'

My whole back's tattooed. I just wanted a twist. I was always in punk bands when I was little... I think that's where the tie comes from.

I wore a lot of vintage clothing. I dressed like a reporter, with a little card in my hat. I had these fantasies of who I wanted to be, so I'd dress like an explorer, a cowboy. I dressed up like Elton John a lot too. That was another period.

I got my first tattoo when I was 16 years old and I went with my mom to get it done - she has a bunch too so we're tattoo buddies now.

I was a prefect at school, I never had a tattoo, got a detention or pierced my ears more than once.
