Personal Quotes
I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring.
I’m an instant star. Just add water and stir.
I always had a repulsive need to be something more than human. I felt very puny as a human. I thought, ‘Fuck that. I want to be a superhuman.
I felt I really wanted to back off from music completely and just work within the visual arts in some way. I started painting quite passionately at that time.
I’m just an individual who doesn’t feel that I need to have somebody qualify my work in any particular way. I’m working for me.
