I feel, as an artist, I should be able to express who I am and the things I come from, and the places I want to also be.

I think the most important thing for an artist is to stay true to who you are. I want to stay as authentic as possible, as that's how we're going with our team.

Part of being an artist is that you are always concerned you don't have what it takes. It... keeps us honest.

I have a lot of respect for all the artists I get compared to, even if, as an artist, you prefer to have your own identity.

As a composer, I'm basically trying to represent myself through my music in an honest way.

That's part of the requirement for me to be an artist is that you're trying to share your personal existence with others and trying to illuminate modern life, trying to understand life.

More than anything, I think the best thing you can do as an artist is just stay as true to yourself as possible and hope that your fan base will appreciate that.

The responsibility of an artist is to be honest with themselves.

The most important thing for me as an artist is having an identity.

Being an artist is being at the service of yourself; I am at the service of other people.
