I think a lot of making art is listening to yourself.

I, in the end, make art for myself.

I'm compelled to paint nearly every day. I just felt like making a painting, went out and bought paints and a canvas. Now it fulfills me creatively when I'm not doing music: it's something you can do by yourself and it's totally yours. It's a great adjunct to my life.

Art is something that opens up and enhances your emotions and that's what I like to think I'm doing.

I think there is a hunger for things that wake you up, something that makes you peel back your eyes, that reminds you that you are alive. Art is at its best when it is in the 'now.'

Art is such a personal experience, I really try to make my own thing.

Making art, good art, is always a struggle. It can make you happy when you pull it off. There's no better feeling. It's beauteous. But it's always about hard work and inspiration and sweat and good ideas.

I love painting and have a need to do it.

Artists today think of everything they do as a work of art. It is important to forget about what you are doing - then a work of art may happen.
