Ariana Grande is a billionaire before she's been an artist. You have to work to be able to appreciate what you have... what work did she ever have to do in her life?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Ariana Grande was on a TV show, and then she started her career singing. If I'm offered a TV show, I'm going to pursue that and then see if I can push my singing. And then if I push my singing, awesome. My biggest goal, though? Be an actress in movies. I would love to have a career like Meryl Streep's someday.
Me jumping on a song with Ariana Grande is just showing versatility, you know what I'm saying?
Don't expect fame to come overnight. That filtered through to me in my own career. Look at Madonna: she's not the best singer in the world, but she's got where she has through hard work.
To live as an artist requires hard work or some extraordinary good fortune to come your way.
Madonna remains the most visible performer on the planet, as well as one of the wealthiest, but would anyone seriously say that artistic self-development is her primary motivating principle? She is too busy with Kabbalah, fashion merchandising, adoption melodramas, the gym, and ill-starred horseback riding to study art.
Miley Cyrus is about making money. Amanda Palmer is about 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.
Artists usually don't make all that much money, and they often keep their artistic hobby despite the money rather than due to it.
Ariana Grande - I like her a lot.
I always knew that I was an artist. I never expected to be able to make a living.
