I thought, 'Well, I'll amuse people a little bit.' During lunch hour, while everyone was off to the faculty club and this and that, I set up a bunch of bases down the hallway of the school and I put all of the portraits I had completed... and I waited for the reaction.... that's how I got started again, doing portraits of people around me. — Joe Fafard

I discovered lots of music; electronic synth bands from the mid-'80s like Depeche Mode, Soft Cell and Cabaret Voltaire.

And then I went to art school and as time progressed, I ended up where I am now. — Giles Deacon
School buildings should be opened and used twenty four hours a day. — Nikki Giovanni
I think that people should find a niche that will work. I have friends growing up who sat around playing video games for hours after school, and now they work for the video game industry.

...I spent many, many hours in...libraries. Libraries became courts of last resort, as it were. — Arthur Ashe
