God Is All Over The

In School, I Learned About Artists And How They Were Free To Express Themselves. I Was Allergic To Conformity, And The Lifestyle Attracted Me. I Wanted To Express Myself In A Way That Slammed People Up Against The Wall.

No Matter How Big Or Soft Or Warm Your Bed Is, You Still Have To Get Out Of It.

Being In A Rock N' Roll Band Was Like Being In A Sherman Tank. Nothing Got To You. You Were Surrounded And Protected By Men.

I Don't Imagine My Parents Are Too Excited About My Kind Of Life. The Surrounding Weirdness Bothers Them. Still, I Think They're Pretty Good. Their Lives Are Based On What Their Friends Think, Just Like Ours Are.

The Way I Paint Is Similar To Rock In That You Don't Stand Around And Say, 'gee, What Are They Talking About?' Rock Is Simple, Blunt, Colorful. Same With My Paintings. You Don't Stand Back And Wonder What It Is. That's Jim Morrison, That's A Panda, That's A Scene On The West Coast. It's Not Abstract.
