Create something for yourself that you feel proud of, that you are in control of, that gives you a better understanding of the type of artist you want to be.

Part of your job as an artist is to push yourself and make sure your creative juices are flowing.

You grow and evolve and as you do that, your art hopefully reflects that change and that growth.

I knew I was artistic, and I wanted to do something in the arts.

Be your own artist, and always be confident in what you're doing. If you're not going to be confident, you might as well not be doing it.

One of the greatest things about being an artist is, as you get older, if you keep working hard in relationship to what you want the world to be and how you want it to become, there is a history of interesting growth that resonates with different moments in your life.

I think the key to great art and great artists is to just fully be yourself and not be scared of that, and be the extremes of your personality. Show the extremes of your personality and embrace the imperfections. Embrace the things about yourself that you might not like.

I really just want to continue to challenge myself. And I want to continue to grow as an artist. I never want to stop.

To be an artist, you need to play inside your work.

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