The drive for happiness is vital; it's what keeps us in motion.

Sometimes I'm kind of spacey. I'm like Ferdinand the bull, sniffing the daisy, not aware of time, of what's going on in the real world.

We've had too many World AIDS Days.

Anything that's expanding the mind and heart is happiness. But it's not a goal.

I've had an interesting life.

I'd bought a lot of really challenging, cutting-edge Joel-Peter Witkin photographs very early on. There were severed heads and amputated feet and hands in them - gruesome stuff. I had them all around the house, and if someone couldn't relate to it in some artistic way and instead just said "Yuck," then there probably wouldn't have been anywhere for us to go.

My life is pretty simple and normal.
