At school I was an anti-magnet for women.

When I perform onstage, I'm actually kind of nearsighted, so I don't have any real, true understanding of what the audience is like.

I'm hugely self-critical in the morning.

I have a particular dislike for children's films. I'm way past the novelty aspect.

When I was in art school, there was a stigma attached to coming from comfortable suburbia. If you were from Great Neck, Long Island, you couldn't be a 'real artist', so I found crafty ways of implying that I was from New York.

I think that designers have an incredibly broad creative repertoire. They solve. They create images of perfection for any number of clients. I could never do that. I'm my client. That's the difference between an artist and a designer; it's a client relationship.

I love music. In a lot of my downtime, I spend time listening to other people's music or other people's rhymes and writing my own.

It really hasn't been demonstrated at any level by any major corporation that it can nurture what is euphemistically called creativity.
