15. Is it true, you did not sell any of your work whilst you were alive?
And, are you the reincarnation of Rembrandt? And, is Longgrain the reincarnation of both of you?

:D

20. How did madness influence your art work?
Do you think your works would have been as priceless as they are had it not been for your unfortunate brain chemistry?

26. Was that Longgrain or Van Gogh?
Vincent lived in London for a while, but I'm pretty sure he spoke French, too.

I suspect you are an imposter, and are really Thomas Kincaide, pretending once again to be a real artist! Prove yourself! Say something only Van Gogh would say!
