I've achieved what every artist wants, which is that some of their work will outlive them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I feel like every artist has an opportunity to create something new and to challenge themselves to reach out to a new crowd.
I hope my work has inspired young artists. I have always tried to maintain my freedom as an artist and I feel it is one of the main reasons I have been successful.
I've learned over the years that you're going to be most successful at the things you're most excited to do. Every artist has a special set of tools. When you really use those tools, and you make yourself feel really good about the product you create, I think you'll find an audience for it. I've been very fortunate in that respect.
I've spent my life pursing excellence as an artist, which is what I always wanted to do anyhow.
What we have as artists is the immortalization opportunity that others don't have, because our work is lasting; it's there forever to view.
You want, as an artist, to be pushing yourself to do what you haven't done before.
My goal as an artist is to always be true to who I am and give my fans music they will enjoy for a lifetime.
As an artist, you can never get what you want. What you do never approaches what you want it to be.
I think all any artist or person wants to do is grow spiritually, emotionally, professionally and mentally.
As an artist, you're always going to be yearning and wanting and never satisfied. I never feel like I've really achieved something.
