Back to the painting of the Sistine Chapel, there's always been run-ins between benefactors and artists.

I wanted to be complete, because I figured that, visually, there was an avenue to explore with painted stuff.

Even Michelangelo got paid for doing the Sistine Chapel. To those artists who say they're doing it for the love of art, I say: Get real.

One can easily tell that the creator of the paintings in the Sistine Chapel was above all a sculptor.

I've been painting and making things since I was little.

It would have been the equivalent of Jackson Pollock's attempts to copy the Sistine Chapel.

I did not use paint, I made myself up morally.

I found I have to stay painting.

I wanted to learn how to paint rather than just doing black-and-white work.

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.
