Because I was traveling a lot during the '70s, the only thing I could do on the road was take photographs, so there wasn't much painting during those years.

Light is a metaphoric thing. There is green light and red light. Then there is black light, which is mostly danger.

I began drawing as a very young child and had a grandfather who experimented with photography, so those things constituted my first exposure to art.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

I just had an idea that went right over my head.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.
