I'm really into California art from the '60s.

I'm very much involved in art. I started buying art a few years ago and really like the work of T.C. Cannon, who is a native American artist. Then I was introduced to Soviet-era Russian impressionism and started collecting that, especially Gely Korzhev.

I've always been drawn to artists who paint for the everyday person. I love the American illustrators.

I like '50s and '60s American art. I have 85 or 90 Warhols.

I went to Cal Arts. I went to art school.

I grew up with artists.

I have always been a Peter Blake fan and love street art and graffiti. I really like this street-art collective called Faile. They're from Brooklyn and make these prints of beautiful women.

I'm very envious of the few artists who are any good and still do portraits.

I love the Mexican muralists - like Rivera, Orozco - and the music of Walter Benton. They gave you a sense that reality was much more than life.

I have been surrounded by artists and paintings throughout my life. My father Ted Dyer is an artist, and from a very early age I have spent time painting and drawing.
