Sometimes as an artist you get wrapped up in what you are doing and you can't be objective.

I think an artist's responsibility is more complex than people realize.

If I have an opportunity to do something safe or something challenging, I'll often choose the latter. Sometimes, the objective is to submerge my viewpoint with the artist.

I guess if you take yourself seriously as an artist there starts either the problem or the beauty of doing good artwork.

I think, as an artist, it's very important to continue to be challenged and feel challenged all the time.

Part of being an artist is that you are always concerned you don't have what it takes. It... keeps us honest.

It's really easy to project this whole ideology of what being an artiste is, and I'm just not down with intellectualizing it. I just think, if you feel like doing something, then do it.

I think that to explore the uncomfortable and the politically incorrect is the job of the artist.

The reason you work as an artist is to stay open and ask questions.

The responsibility of an artist is to be honest with themselves.
