My father had the bug. Ever since I can remember walking, he was waking me up at 5 in the morning to go to flea markets. As a kid, I couldn't really stand it, but as I grew up, I became that guy, and when I have kids, I am going to be doing the same thing.
New York is an incredible place to be an artist, because there are so many incredible people, and... it's all about the people that you get exposed to.
I could never even entertain the notion that it's an option, to not be an artist.
