I was always into animation, especially.

I was into fantasy more than horror. I was growing up in the mid-'70s through the '80s, and I also got a healthy dose of that classic era of film.

I loved underground comics and psychedelic art. I did like some supernatural horror, but mainly fantasy. I was into escapism.

I was fortunate to be connected with bands who later became pioneers for certain genres of music scenes. And my art went along with them for that ride and became associated with it.

I have a goal to do my own animated film, something all my own.

It was a natural path for me, being an artist. Both my parents were artists. I was surrounded by it and I instinctively was drawn toward it, and received a lot of encouragement.

I loved music and art, combining the two seemed like a natural match.

I was buying old records a lot in my early teenage years and I was mostly drawn toward the artwork even more than the band itself. I loved the way the art set the scene for the music.

Think of your passions as you do food, water, shelter...a necessity. If someone told you to give them up, would you listen?

You can tell your story any way you damn well please.Its your solo.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.

You want a drumstick? Like a ice cream cone or a chicken wing!?

Man is at his greatest and highest when upon his knees he comes face to face with God.

The highest skill is the true judgment of values.

Ive always written poetry and lyrics. My first husband, who was a musician, we wrote a bunch of songs together.

I never had one beer. If I bought a six-pack of beer, I kept drinking till all six beers were gone. You have to have that kind of understanding about yourself. I haven't had a drink now in 12 years.
