I'm A Work Horse. I Like To Work. I Always Did. I Think That There Is Such A Thing As Energy, Creation Overflowing. And I Always Felt That I Have This Great Energy And It Was Bound To Sort Of Burst At The Seams, So That My Work Automatically Took Its Place With A Mind Like Mine. I've Never Had A Day When I Didn't Want To Work. I've Never Had A Day Like That. And I Knew That A Day I Took Away From The Work Did Not Make Me Too Happy. I Just Feel That I'm In Tune With The Right Vibrations In The Universe When I'm In The Process Of Working. ... In My Studio I'm As Happy As A Cow In Her Stall.
