I admire artists who are ageing and still retaining their edge.

I don't like a lot of the stuff that goes on in the art world, but it's hard to be old and like what goes on around you.

For some reason I can't explain, artist and musicians tend to look younger than our age. Being in music, you need this youthful sense of discovery and wonder for what you're doing and keep your imagination open. That's a youthful way of looking at life and I think that reflects in how you age.

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.

There was definitely a point in my thirties when I thought, 'Oh, wow, I'm not the youngest person on the set anymore.' But I like it. Working with younger artists is totally exciting.

There are so many artists who get to my age that get comfortable and just stick in a groove, and I really don't want to do that.

All artists get better with age. The more you draw, the better you're going to get.

If you continue to act like an artist as you get older, you'll increasingly feel pressure. People will question your actions.

I think older people can appreciate my music because I really show my heart when I sing, and it's not corny. I think I can grow as an artist, and my fans will grow with me.
