I knew I was weird by the time I was four. I knew I wasn't like other boys. I knew I was more fearful. I didn't like the rough and tumble most boys were into. I knew I was a sissy.

I always had a sketchbook with me when I was young. I was hiding behind it, basically, hiding behind drawing because I couldn't cope with people in real life; I was very shy and very nervous around people.

Drawing is a way for me to articulate things inside myself that I can't otherwise grasp.

Throwaway pens are no good - I never liked them. I've tried them all.

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

I don't do album covers or CD covers for groups or musicians I don't like or have no interest in.

Violence begets violence, and then you get leaders who are violent men. And you don't want that.
