I can't draw a stick person. I can't play a musical instrument. But I've always had a knack for making money.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Dude, I throw a stick. Come on. I get paid a pretty good salary to throw a stick.
People still think of me as a cartoonist, but the only thing I lift a pen or pencil for these days is to sign a contract, a check, or an autograph.
I love making money, but you can't live your life waiting to get rich in a job that no longer feeds you artistically.
Back in third grade, they used to say, 'Take whatever talent you have and think of something you can do with it.' I liked to draw, but what could I do with it? Maybe I could be an art dealer - nah, can't see myself doing that. Maybe I could do commercial arts?
I was always the kid who could draw. I had this talent, and it was the one thing that gave me some kind of dignity in the midst of my personal environment.
I'm born with a pencil in my hand. I did lots of sketching.
I can draw really well. And I like to paint. I'm a bit of an artist.
Generally I draw every day just to keep my hand in. I draw while I'm sitting on the Tube or in restaurants. Just doodling things and people I see.
I don't work from drawings. I don't make sketches and drawings and color sketches into a final painting.
First and foremost I am a drummer. After that, I'm other things... But I didn't play drums to make money.
