By the time I was a teenager, I knew I wanted to be an artist. I was a born draftsman and liked all forms of art, so I just knew that's what I wanted to do.

When I left school, I wanted to be an artist, specifically a painter.

I went to art school when I was little.

I had no idea that I could sustain a career as an artist. But, I loved music and wanted to be in the music business.

When I was young, I wanted to be a writer or painter. I was always writing stories, and I excelled at drawing. My teachers encouraged my art work. When I was 9 or 10, I began learning piano and started writing music.

I feel like I became an artist by default. I went to art college, but my interest was always more towards film than painting or sculpture.

I went to art school actually when I was sixteen years old.

I went to art school when I was little. I took ballet lessons. I played a little kick ball. I was sort of into everything because I had too much energy and I didn't know where to put it. When I was a preteen, I got into singing, and became really obsessed with it.

I think the inception of my interest in arts was when I was around 9 or 10 and I started dancing. I was really convinced that I was going to go to New York and be onstage in 'A Chorus Line.'

I felt I really wanted to back off from music completely and just work within the visual arts in some way. I started painting quite passionately at that time.
