“Art is like a girlfriend- a mistress in my case- one that complicates other intimate relationships. She is rather demanding to be honest and there are days I wish I could let her go. But here is the thing: she has this knack, often takes me by the hand and shows me around. Let me visit places, do things I would never have dared do alone. Like all women, she brings out the best in me. My wife and she have met… they get along. Sometimes they share secrets behind my back, a giggle or a laugh. They both know me for sure.”
