There's some connection between visual images and music. But there's plenty of old records where I have no idea what the band looked like, or even what sort of context the music was played in.

I still can't spend a lot of money on records at collector prices. There's something in me that just won't allow me to do that. But I will trade my artwork, which I know is worth thousands of dollars.

Everything that is strong in me has gone into my art work.

I draw the line at some things. Some things I won't do for any amount of money. Like for instance, there's a couple of CEOs of very large corporations that offered me lots of money to do special pictures for them. And I just refused to do that. Even if it was a million dollars I wouldn't do it.

I felt so painfully isolated that I vowed I would get revenge on the world by becoming a famous cartoonist.

The work itself is what motivates me. I like my own stuff, you know? I like the way it looks. I do it to please myself first.

I'm just a negative person, a deeply negative person. I see the worst aspects of everything.
