I never wanted to be a professional artist; I think that's limiting.

The computer is my favourite invention. I feel lucky to be part of the global village. I don't mean to brag, but I'm so fast with technology. People think it all seems too much, but we'll get used to it. I'm sure it all seemed too much when we were learning to walk.

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?

I'm a very obsessive type. If I do get into it, I'll soon be there 12 hours a day. I just don't want to do that.

I respect Lady Gaga very much.

Love is an incredibly strong thing, it goes everywhere, it's like water, you can't stop it. Love, once you have it, once you create a kind of pathway for it to come out, it just keeps on coming out.

It's a waste of time to think that if you colored a painting red what might have happened if you painted it black.
