It's taken folk a while to come around, hasn't it? Even the boys in the band weren't too sure about the whole art thing. They just wanted me to concentrate on the music. But they respect it now.

I'm a Gemini, so I have a great time with the other guy.

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

My real self is probably more creative and more frightening than any sort of drink or drug-induced state.

All my family back to the 1700s were water Gypsies. My brothers and me, we were the first ones to be born on dry land. All the rest of them were born on barges in the canals.

When I first started all this, it was mostly music fans that came along, Stones fans. But now, I'm being taken seriously. I've got highfalutin art collectors and everything!

Let's face it: I paint well. I know it, you know it. There's no arguing really, is there?
