Art to me is a humanitarian act and I believe that there is a responsibility that art should somehow be able to effect mankind, to make the word a better place.

I believe that my art gets across the point that I'm in this morality theater trying to help the underdog, and I'm speaking socially here, showing concern and making psychological and philosophical statements for the underdog.

I've always enjoyed feeling a connection to the avant-garde, such as Dada and surrealism and pop art. The only thing the artist can do is be honest with themselves and make the art they want to make. That's what I've always done.

I don't believe that artists really are interested in money. That's not the motivation for art.

If I physically made every work myself, I would get only one or two paintings done a year, if that.

I enjoy all mediums, and I have to say, music is the medium that first made me understand how powerful art could be.

I always liked Disney films. To this day I think 'Bambi' is great.
