I guess I feel so tortured most of the time, when I see someone else feeling tortured, I get a little perverse glee out of it.

Danny Elfman, the composer, tells me the only time he thinks I'm happy is when I'm on the scoring stage, and I see the pressure's on him and it's a little off me.

I rarely draw what I see. I draw what I feel in my body.

Whenever I see a Frans Hals, I feel the desire to paint; but when I see a Rembrandt, I want to give it up.

I get to travel, see the world, meet people and be independent. I feel blessed.

When I go to an art gallery and stand in front of a painting, I don't want someone telling me what I should be seeing or thinking; I want to feel whatever I feel, see whatever I see, and figure out what I figure out.
