I want to do something that nobody has done before me. And I want to do it in such a way that nobody will forget me for it.

I hope my work has inspired young artists. I have always tried to maintain my freedom as an artist and I feel it is one of the main reasons I have been successful.

By the time I was a teenager, I knew I wanted to be an artist. I was a born draftsman and liked all forms of art, so I just knew that's what I wanted to do.

Good or bad, the one thing I can say about my art is, if I can quote Sinatra, I did it my way.

I want to do something that nobody has done before me. And I want to do it in such a way that nobody will forget me for it.

Knowing what to take out and what to leave in is what separates the men from the boys.

When it came to my art, I went my own way and did not follow the trends.
