When I'm left on my own I'm my own worst enemy.

I am a big fan of the Impressionists, and in my school days, I was inspired by Caravaggio, Velazquez and Rembrandt.

During the Eighties, when I was hurting for money, I thought, "Hang on a minute - I can paint." I was living in New York and I thought it would get the grocery money coming in, and it escalated from there.

I can't be left unsupervised.

I used to worry, 'I've lost my family.' They hated me for a while, but they're very resilient.

I have a lot of growing up to do. But I think, 'Hell, is it too late?'

Most white Americans only discovered the blues with the British invasion.
