Where I was born and where and how I have lived is unimportant. It is what I have done with where I have been that should be of interest.

I can't live where I want to, I can't go where I want to go, I can't do what I want to, I can't even say what I want to. I decided I was a very stupid fool not to at least paint as I wanted to.
