There isn't any amount of money that could tempt me to promote something that I didn't believe in.

I'm genuine and people can believe what I say.

The truth is an artist like me who doesn't get the type of promotion that we see more commercial artists receive, and especially in this climate of the music business, you have to be creative about how you promote yourself.

I should be known for my work and not how I promote myself and what I do.

I come from an academic background. I wasn't raised to be into promoting myself.

I want people to see me for who I am and not for how someone else is trying to promote me.

I just have this sort of entrepreneurial spirit and I work really hard at promoting myself.

I've never been interested in self-promotion and that side of politics; and if that means people judge that you're less prominent than others, that's a choice I've been willing to make.

There comes a time when you have to put forth the action and actually see whether you're really just talking to promote yourself, just to sell yourself, or to build your confidence or build confidence around you... or are you the real deal?
