When I hear music, my body just starts to move. It has nothing to do with training or anything. That's just me. That's just my body. And I was like that as a child, too.

In the '60s we fought for peace, when the Vietnam war was on. We were against the cops and against the politicians, and there was a lot of waving banners and all that. And I think in a way, just as they were enjoying that machoism of war, we were enjoying the machismo of being anti-war, you know?

A lot of things have been thrown at me in life, and I've got through it all without a rule book, taking it one day at a time.

If your life changes, we can change the world, too.

The art world was not initially really accepting my kind of work. I was ahead of my time.

I never thought, "I'm going to be an artist". When I actually began to become successful in the art world I made it a point to say, 'I am a dilettante, I am not a professional artist", which is true.

We artists have the dignity to tell the truth to the people, unlike politicians.
