My father used to run auctions. He's now a singer in the Canary Islands.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I used to be a record collector. Mark Ronson, Questlove and I used to be part of, like, a record-trading crew.
One of the first things I picked up when I was very, very young out of a record store was work from Peter Saville - the early things he used to do for Factory Records.
I used to be a street singer in San Francisco.
My parents were entrepreneurs. They ran a small ad agency in upstate New York.
I am currently doing about 30 charity auctions a year.
I don't pay attention to auction prices. Nothing interests me less. One of the benefits of not being an artist is I don't have to navigate the social hierarchies of the art world as a person of desire. I don't need anything. I live in a different way.
I love going to tag sales, to auctions.
My father was a banker, but he was an independent spirit. He was a very good pianist and very much into music.
My father did advertising photography.
My father was in the ad business, and he wanted to be a painter.
