The more I paint the more I like everything.

There are about 30 words around you all the time, like 'thread' or 'exit.'

The black person is the protagonist in most of my paintings. I realized that I didn't see many paintings with black people in them.

I was a really lousy artist as a kid. Too abstract expressionist; or I'd draw a big ram's head, really messy. I'd never win painting contests. I remember losing to a guy who did a perfect Spiderman.

I had some money, I made the best paintings ever. I was completely reclusive, worked a lot, took a lot of drugs. I was awful to people.

I like kids' work more than work by real artists any day.
