Charles Saatchi has never liked my work at all.

I like kids' work more than work by real artists any day.

I was a really lousy artist as a kid. Too abstract expressionist; or I'd draw a big ram's head, really messy. I'd never win painting contests. I remember losing to a guy who did a perfect Spiderman.

I played a guitar with a file, and a synthesizer.

I wanted to be a star, not a gallery mascot.

The black person is the protagonist in most of my paintings. I realized that I didn't see many paintings with black people in them.
