- When I was an art student, a professor told me, "If you are thinking about where a painting is going to hang in a gallery and what others will say and think of it before you have put the first brush to the canvas, you are missing the point entirely."
- I was keen on the idea of being famous. From as long as I can remember, I danced around the kitchen. I would dance around and sing and pretend that one day, somebody would break down from the big places and maybe wander over to our house to see if they could borrow our phone. They'd look in the window and see me prancing around and say, 'We found a star!' Beyond that, which is totally a kid dreaming, I was never under any belief that what we were doing was leading toward something. There was never any sort of formula.
