I'm not an artist. I'm a fashion designer of clothes.

I think that an artist should be a skilled craftsman.

No one is an artist unless he carries his picture in his head before painting it, and is sure of his method and composition.

We're in a post-conceptual era where it's really the artist's idea and vision that are prized rather than the ability to master the crafts that support the work. Today, our understanding of an artist is closer to a philosopher than to a craftsman.

I would hardly call myself an artist in that sense; I doodle, I draw, I'm not a trained artist, I couldn't sit down and do an accurate portrait of anyone.

I don't consider myself an artist. I consider myself a very opinionated man who uses words as fighting tools.

I am just an artist.

I'm not a very creative person, you know? I'm not really an art person. I'm not a great reader or writer or artist or musician.
