I believe, even when I'm doing my standup or my acting or whatever I'm doing, I believe in painting pictures.

I'm a super creative person and have always loved drawing and painting since I was super young, but makeup was a new avenue for me.

I hated painting, and I quit right after high school because I was continually told how terrific I was... it made me feel shaky.

I wasn't trained as an actor at all. I had studied painting in America and had no clue about acting when I came back.

Everything from the music to our clothes was truly authentic. Lisa and I were in my basement spray painting our overalls.

I don't want to paint a picture of total gloom and doom.

Photography led me to experiment in graphic work and, actually, painting.

A lot of painters listen to music, I think, while they paint. But I hate to do that. It's a horror. I can't really listen to the music. I'm not really concentrating on it, and I'm not really concentrating on the painting.

Last year my boyfriend gave me a painting - a very personal one. I really prefer personal gifts or ones made by someone for me. Except diamonds. That's the exception to the rule.

The medium of film is really wonderful because it can behave in the same way as collage and painting; it can be layered and non-literal.
