I discovered through my lovely wife, Stella, that I could paint.
And I remember she was an example because she changed my life.
She found some drawings in some old scripts of mine, just...
After we got married, she said, these drawings, you did these?
I said, yeah.
You've got to paint.
I said, I can't paint.
She said, of course you can.
Just do it.
So I then bought some canvases and acrylic paints and pens and inks.
And I just do it.
A need sounds rather sad.
I just enjoy it.
I enjoy the scientific fun of it, of learning a script or learning all the lines.
And I'm very good at that.
I learn everything there is to about the text that I'm studying because that reforms something in me.
And I suppose on a deep psychological level,
I'm trying to escape from what I was.
I don't know.
Well, that lonely kid, you know.
