I have a painter's memory. I can remember things from my childhood which were so powerfully imprinted on me, the whole scene comes back.

I remember times when the whole music scene was just flourishing.

I have a strong memory of my early childhood. I can remember life before I was two. I remember being toilet-trained like it was last week - and it wasn't last week.

As an adult, it's hard for me to remember my mother before her sickness. But if I go back into childhood, I can access that.

If I were a painter, you'd be calling me Shaqcasso.

You can do fascinating things with the tricks memory can play and tell. People can come to believe things which didn't happen at all if they're told them enough times.
