“My mother was very artistic and very fashionable, and she used to make costumes for me, some of the costumes that I use to this day, like the big flower heads that I use in my band in Karen Black, my mother had actually designed for me when I was a child…I guess I was very lucky to have a lot of artistic encouragement.”
