All kids draw and write poetry and everything, and some of us last until we're about eighteen, but most drop off at about twelve when some guy comes up and says, "You're no good."

It happened to all of us, but if somebody had told me all my life, "Yeah, you're a great artist," I would have been a more secure person.
