For lack of a better term, they've labeled me a sex symbol. It's flattering and it should happen to every bald, overweight guy. ↗

I remember Francis Bacon would say that he felt he was giving art what he thought it previously lacked. With me, it's what Yeats called the fascination with what's difficult. I'm only trying to do what I can't do. ↗
