Art was always for me an escape and a way to relate to the world around me.

Seriously, I wanted to be an artist because I saw that it meant endless possibilities. I came from a badly managed family background, so art was a way of reinventing myself.

My imagination was a great place to escape from all the anxiety and disapproval of my life... I had to live in my head... art was a way of making myself feel better.

I love art and I think I was destined to end up in some aspect of the arts.

I was always making things. Even though art was what I did every day, it didn't even occur to me that I would be an artist.

Art was always my main focus; I fell into writing by accident in the 1980s, writing magazine articles to pay for my studio. I have to put myself into the position of writing; sometimes it doesn't work, and sometimes it works great.

I think I always knew that I would do something with art because it was the one thing that I knew I was really good at.

My own interest in art was because of my mother. My father didn't like contemporary art, so he didn't give her large sums to spend. So, she began buying prints and drawings. During my school days, I remember sitting in on many of the early meetings.

I think of art as the highest level of creativity. I was exposed to it since I was very small.
