“I can look at all of my work & not see a single common thread. To sum people, that's not necessarily a good thing. An artist is supposed to have a vision, a focus, some kind of natural thought process. Then there's me. I get bored easily...really easily. The problem with having a million ideas, is that once you start on one, something else pops up & you have to start that too. Pretty soon you've got 10 different things going on at the same time & none of 'em are finished. But hey, I think variation is the key to living an interesting, eventful & fulfilling life! Everyone should try it. Can't hurt....that much.”
