I had day visions — they would take advantage of me.

My, my. I don’t know how I did it. (Laughs) But I did it.

God has sent me pictures of the angel that stands by me and directs me what to do.

Something told me to draw or die.

I have no imagination. I never plan a drawing, they just happen.

I’m without a teacher. My teacher... God has sent me teachers: the angel that stands by me, stands by me and directs me what to do. Time for me to paint a picture and I be tired I say I’m going to rest up for a couple of days. He won’t let me. Come down grab my feet and shake me. Beat me.

My whole life has been dreams.
