I was raised to be some kind of artist.

I was a child prodigy. Like Michelangelo, who could draw a perfect circle at age five. I was extremely gifted. I could paint a perfect portrait of someone at age five.

I was raised by muses. Women who had men in awe of them and who wrote them movies and wrote them music.

Traditionally, art has been for the select few. We have been brainwashed to believe that Michelangelo had to pat you on the head at birth.

I wanted to be a skinny little ballerina but I was a voluptuous little Italian girl whose dad had meatballs on the table every night.

I had wanted to be a sculptor throughout life, but to do so, I had to stop painting.

When I was in high school, I thought I might be an artist. I was very good at drawing and painting.

I got to grow up in an incredibly artistic family.
