We have a big spider-looking ceiling light in the kitchen. It has, like, twenty really bright lightbulbs (digital), and I think this “super-bright” atmosphere kicks in my obsession with painting and drawing. I like being in the middle of everything—being in the kitchen as opposed to being in some secret corner. The dogs and cats constantly jump all over me, and everyone is always eating and drinking and talking while I’m sitting there doing my thang.– Wayne Coyne
