When one has no particular talent for anything, one takes to the pen.
For the first time in my career, I'm working in a fine-arts arena, so I'm finally getting some intelligent reviews.
I was always involved in art and when I went under contract at Warner Bros. at 18, it afforded me the possibility of never having to stop painting, never having to stop taking photographs and so on, and to actually live a cultural life.
There are but three beings worthy of respect: the priest, the warrior and the poet. To know, to kill and to create. The rest of mankind may be taxed and drudged, they are born for the stable, that is to say, to practise what they call professions.
Each thing leapfrogs. I do a Genesis project - like now, we're just finishing off an album - and then by the time the album is doing its thing, I could do nothing or I could do a film.
I don't think music is done by any means. I would love to do it again but it's finding the right thing.
I consider myself an artist. God granted me some gifts so that I could express myself artistically.
Cheryl's artistically inclined. She draws and sketches, but I don't know about acting.
A lot of my friends do creative things and are doing really well at what they do - some writers, some artists. I'm in a driven circle. I've had a lot of opportunities that other people wouldn't necessarily have and seen some cool places.
Artistic development is a thing of the past, sadly.
In terms of creativity, both are equally satisfying. Music album is for yourself, where you compose songs and stuff like that, and in films, you have a story, characters, and songs penned by someone else.
People have been writing songs and poems since the time we had brains.
I have no interest in writing, directing or producing.
I went to Princeton High School when I was very serious about being an artist.
I love to draw and paint. I'm very active in that way, but I'm not very good with the written word, though.
I'd love to do more 'Nighty Night,' but that's always down to commissions, really. It's weird as well because everyone's moved on. I don't know if I could get all those people back.
Even if I hadn't won 'Drag Race,' even if I'd never been on, I'd still be working my tail off, creating live shows, magazines, videos, anything I possibly could!
I would like to be a great artist. I would quit pitching if I could paint like Monet or Rousseau. But I can't. What I can do is pitch, and I can do that very well.
I knew that I always wanted to keep making music, but I knew that comics needed to be a part of my life.
I'm a creator at heart.
I've been painting and making things since I was little.
You reach a point when you say to yourself, 'Do I want to keep doing this?' There are other things on my plate I want to do - I've been writing a play; I've been neglecting my standup.
I felt I really wanted to back off from music completely and just work within the visual arts in some way. I started painting quite passionately at that time.
Be it cinema or TV, I have always been interested in taking up challenging projects.
I went to Cal Arts. I went to art school.
