I often joke that I straddle psychosis and neurosis, and that being an artist keeps me in the middle, so I can work between the two.

People in love don't see gender, colour or religion. Or age. It's about the other person, the one that you love and who loves you. You don't think of them in terms of a label. You just go with your heart.

I took on cancer like I take on everything - like a mission and a job to accomplish.
