I make a good living and I've never looked at myself as being an artiste.

I was always making things. Even though art was what I did every day, it didn't even occur to me that I would be an artist.

I always knew that I was an artist. I never expected to be able to make a living.

It's true that there are people who live the idea of being an artist, as opposed to the idea of making art.

My desire to be an artist really came out of being broke and unemployed and incapable of holding a job down. That's what it was driven by for sure.

I grew up thinking art was pictures until I got into music and found I was an artist and didn't paint.

Artists today think of everything they do as a work of art. It is important to forget about what you are doing - then a work of art may happen.

But I found that being an artist and doing accurate work is very difficult.

I guess I've always liked the idea of being an artist.
