I'd rather have people really be able to step back and get their money's worth and look at me as a true artist than somebody who is just regurgitating other material.

A good artist is willing to die many times over. What's funny is, I've died so many times.

If you want to be a legitimate artist, it's more important what you say no to.

If you are born an artist, you have no choice but to fight to stay an artist.

Being an artist means ceasing to take seriously that very serious person we are when we are not an artist.

I'd rather be dead than dying.

To be a true artist, I have to be true to who I am now and write that way.

There are thousands of very, very talented artists who will never be known, even after they are dead.

In another life, I would love to be the art guy - a production designer or a maybe even a composer.

If I can be doing something in the arts till the day I die. I would be very, very happy.
