I don't put a great deal of stock in art trophies.

I'm obsessed with the Victorian era and the British Royal Navy... I'd love to play a troubled sailor or captain or a boatman on a three masted ship.

I think that purity creates not only a higher level of artistic vision but a purer work ethic.

I also grew up building theatrical scenery. I spent many years building scenery as a large part of my income and that allowed me to really develop my shop skills.

No one will ever ask me to sing because it's beautiful. My secret is hiding my musicianship behind humor.

I won't read a new graphic comic novel until the writer has completed the entire series. I got burned a few times when I got turned on to a book, plowed through it only to find out the author was in the middle of writing the next.

There's a lot of common sense ... which I feel like we have lost touch with.
