I'm kind of honored to be a dragon lady. The dragon is a very powerful, mythical animal.
Many incredible artists die before they were famous.
Art for me is like breathing.
When people ask me what the most important thing is in life, I answer: 'Just breathe.'
Everybody's an artist. Everybody's God. It's just that they're inhibited. I believe in people so much that if the whole of civilization is burned so we don't have any memory of it, even then people will start to build their own art. It is a necessity -- a function. We don't need history.
I think of John every day. I do try to block it, but December 8th is not the only day I think of him.
