I wanted to become an artist because it meant endless possibilities. Art was a way of reinventing myself.

I love life. I think it's fantastic. Sometimes it deals hard things, and when it deals great things, you have to seize them.

One of the few times I saw my mother cry was when Lennon died, and the other time was when Elvis died.

I think you only see experiences as defining moments with distance.

I seize all opportunities with two hands. Everything that's happened to me has taught me to live in the moment as much as possible.

I find that I put my body in my work when I am at a particularly difficult or joyous point because I want to feel that moment.

Having children is exciting. Life puts the past into perspective.
