I feel like my mission is to be honest with myself. My mission is to share my truth - share, not give. I think that's what an artist is supposed to do: I think they share.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The responsibility of an artist is to be honest with themselves.
Part of being an artist is that you are always concerned you don't have what it takes. It... keeps us honest.
As an artist, what you do represents who you are. Coming from a genuine, honest place - that's what I'm trying to do.
I know how I want to operate as an artist. And that is by having an honest, genuine dialogue about this kind of screwed up journey I've had that I'm so thankful for.
I am an honest artist.
To some extent I happily don't know what I'm doing. I feel that it's an artist's responsibility to trust that.
I feel some kind of duty to be really, really honest as a writer. The same is true of my songwriting.
My work is about the establishment of trust. For someone to share their authenticity with me is a soul-to-soul thing. It's not a lens-to-soul thing.
It's such a weird self-confidence that an artist has - to conceive of this thing that serves no function and say, 'I'm going to really work hard for it and give it and it's just going to matter to people.' You really have to believe it all on your own.
As an artist, it feels good that we've created something that is connecting with the audience, which is what we always strive to do.
