I didn't start to be an artist myself until I was 24.

Ever since I was a kid, I might have been eleven or twelve. I'd be telling anyone who would listen that when I grew up, I wanted to be an artist.

I was delivering papers when I was, like, 10 or 11, and I'd always daydream about being an artist as a full-time thing.

I knew I wanted to be an artist at age 5 or 6. I always drew. At 8, I was permitted to study.

I was raised to be some kind of artist.

I think I was about seven when people started telling my parents I would be an actor or a performer of some kind.

I was exposed to the arts, but there was no one in my family who was an artist.

I grew up with art from the innocent age of ten - with art, but with no sense of identity.

Since I was 14, I wanted to make music, but I think I would also have made a good policeman. When I was eight, I wanted to be one so I could tell people off.

By the time I was ten, everyone knew I wanted to be a producer. I was a very precocious little boy.
