My heavily-cleverly disguised low self-regard manifested itself in my constant showing off, my addiction for publicity, and my intolerable 'me-me-me' attitudes and actions. But it's done, isn't it? And no one can really change, can they? And, hey, it has been a lot of fun being the life-long irresponsible, snarky, nasty art scamp.

The 'Artful Tommy' will never change - and perhaps shouldn't.

No matter how hard I tried to popularize, I never cheapened a great work of art.

If you don't work yourself up into a fever of greed and covetousness in an art museum, you're just not doing the job.

Inspiring children through play and creativity is crucial to early development, and no company has done more in that space over many generations than Mattel.

I'm inspired by artists and musicians. There are so many wonderful and talented people in the world. I love discovering new music, new writers, or new art.

If you look at most women's writing, women writers will describe women differently from the way male writers describe women. The details that go into a woman writer's description of a female character are, perhaps, a little more judgmental. They're looking for certain things, because they know what women do to look a certain way.

What I love about film music is the variety. On one movie, you might be asked to do a completely electronic score, and then another might ask you to do orchestral only.
