When I was 18 years old, there was no internet and no gay teen nights. Instead, you went to the clubs and talked to grown men and did grown-up things.

For me, the '80s were like the drawing by Botticelli of the nine rings of hell.

A Scorpio, it's just about peeling back the layers. And I'm always surprised at myself-there's a lot under there.

I never have a problem with being black. I have a problem with the easy association of what that means to some people.

Tobacco and religious organisations.

If power is abstraction, which many black men, black women, and people of color have very little voice in, well, then I want to sit at the table.

I always made stuff but never thought, I'm going to be an artist.
