A lot of artists need structure.

When I moved to New York, I was still in the closet.

A lot of artists need structure.

I went through a pretty big David Bowie period when I was younger, and that has affected me profoundly in my life and my work.

I'm not going to hide behind anything.

My mom had seven kids in seven years, and then she had me 11 years later. So when I was born, my oldest brother was 18. And my youngest brother was 11. By the time I was 7 or 8, everyone had moved out. I went from being with ten people all the time to being an only child. It really freaked me out.

Growing up, my room was covered in posters. I was like, "I want to make posters."
