"My mother was always taking me places to see performing arts. I was grounded in the arts. I can remember so clearly how she took me to the Radio City Music Hall one Easter Sunday to see Bye Bye Birdie. I also remember her taking me to Broadway to see The King and I with Yul Brynner when I was four of rive years old, and how I cried until she took me home because I was too scared. Either the music was too loud or I didn't like our seats-last row in the balcony. I'm still afraid of heights. The point of it was this: All this exposure started my interest in visual arts. May siblings and I were exposed to the arts, all of'em This happened about as soon as we could walk. I believe exposure makes all the difference in the long run."
