I remember being influenced by great artists when I was a kid - not to call myself a great artist - but people who I thought were great enough that they really made a difference. And so I would never want to be disappointed by them, and I want to make sure I never disappoint audience.

Great artists are the ones who have put their entire selves out there to be adored, humiliated, to be picked at, cherished, all of those things, and haven't shied away from that.

I have enjoyed all the artists I've worked with.

I think I come from a time when all the artists I grew up with and I loved always used to try and push the boundaries, and there doesn't seem so much of that, really.

I love the beginnings of artists when all they've got is raw talent and nothing else.

I've never been able to understand where great artists come from.

I think sometimes an artist can really lose sight of what made them popular in the first place.

So many artists try to be something that they're not.

There are different kinds of artists: the ones that inspire you, and the ones that overwhelm you.
