When I get intimate with my paintings, it's a real good spiritual thing to get off my chest. Same as playing the instruments is a great release.

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

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!

I will miss a good friend who was so talanted. He was such agreat performer/ guitar player. Sleep well Prince.

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

What can I say, I'm an alcoholic. It's what I do.

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