I've tried to avoid labels, but they always find you.

I think putting labels on people is just an easy way of marketing something you don't understand.

I don't put labels on myself.

I come from a place where I find it hard to identify with a label.

There is no one label that could be attached to me that would be thought adequate.

We are too quick to put labels on things. It is my profession. I get up and paint. Everyone wants to put a label on it, but I am a free spirit, so I fight against that.
