I have always considered myself an artist and painting was the first medium that I claimed.

In the world of music, the audience is not just fans of music; they're fans of many things.

To me, humor is part of a conversation with an audience.

Sometimes I'm extremely afraid of the unknown, but I'm so grateful to be on that journey.

I think everyone on the planet is a fan of a painting because everyone is a fan of visual stimulation, but I've had freedom in the world [of painting] because I've kept it to myself.

One of the things that I love about painting is that I never consider myself to have an audience.

In painting, the key is not taking myself seriously to the point where it kills sincerity.
