I do spend money. I like to spend money, on houses - on furnishing houses. And I love to give presents to people. It's just in my nature to be that way. I always spent money I had. And I always spent what I made. I'm not stingy.

In anything there has to be dark and light. There's a lot of joy in my paintings and a lot of darkness.

I have a tremendous appetite for life; the phone rings and your whole life could change.

I was born during an eclipse. I believe very much in astrology. If you were born on an eclipse it indicates your destiny is chaotic.
