I consider myself an artist. God granted me some gifts so that I could express myself artistically.

I grew up with artists.

I think I was probably an early teenager when I discovered Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey and a bunch of people that are on a long list of artists. They were important to me, especially as an early adolescent.

I knew I wanted to be an artist, but I didn't really know what it was I wanted to say.

I wasn't born an artist. I was really good in science as a kid. I probably shouldn't have been an artist because I'm much more interested in science. But I was raised by artists. I can't really escape it.

I didn't want to be an artist.

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