All kids, I think, are creative, but they get it pounded out of them in school.

As a teenager I started painting and playing guitar.

Music has been my playmate, my lover, and my crying towel.

The paintings are transferred from my computer to a disk, and I can hand it to the printer this way; or I can modem the painting to the printer over the phone lines from my house in Hawaii.

I had no reason to want to copy anybody else. What I wanted to give audiences for the few minutes that I thought my career would last was something unique.

It was a black and white only computer at the time, but it kept me fascinated.
