Vangelis's "Mythodea" and Sarah Brightman's "La Luna" are my latest obsessions. I have to have music or I start writing my autobiography in my head. I usully listen to piano or violin concertos. What I hear very much influences how I paint. I cannot talk and paint, which makes life difficult when I teach and I am trying to explain something while I demonstrate. All sorts of strange utterances! I haven't tried juggling fruit but I have juggled babies and pottery. Does that count?

I have tried TV, big no-no, because I eventually realize that I'm watching rather than working. I can't comment on 911 except to say that I prefer not to know what is happening in the world on a second-by-second basis these days. My most creative time was three years living in Papua, New Guinea when we had one radio station, no TV and Australian newspapers a week old. Heaven!
