Knowing that you're crazy doesn't make the crazy things stop happening.
You can ask me anything you like about my work, but I'll never talk about myself.

It may be that to eat and be eaten are the same thing in the end. My wisdom tells me that this is probably so. We are all made of the same stuff, remember, we of the Jungle, you of the City.

Remember that when you no longer remember me, my child.
I think the idea of Mary Poppins has been blowing in and out of me, like a curtain at a window, all my life.
My uncles represented a strength and a power I think that to a certain degree I looked up to. But from another perspective, I had really no artist role models to fall under.

This is like incredible work!"
