I've always been a creative person, and I'd always wanted to paint, so I went to art school and began painting and sculpting.

I liked sculpting better than painting. You have more freedom in sculpting.

I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality.

I like to think of myself as kind of a sculptor, only I sculpt people.

I paint. I still do it every day. I never neglected it. It's a gift. It's almost like religion for me. It's the quickest way for me to become still.

See, when I paint, it is an experience that, at its best, is transcending reality.

I paint what cannot be photographed, that which comes from the imagination or from dreams, or from an unconscious drive.

Painting is a hobby for me.

When I was in art college, I would be painting, and I would create something on a canvas that was actually quite attractive. But if I got frightened and tried to protect that, that canvas would die.
