It's a different era. Our job now is to show leadership and vision and to help the next generation of artists.

Well there is a lot of work here for younger and older musicians now. Our Ministry of Culture has now really embarked on changing things for artists, and it is getting much better. We just have to organize ourselves as artists, and then things will be better.

I believe artists deserve all the help they can get, so they can focus on being great artists.

I just feel passionately about a few things and particularly about helping artists get off the ground.

I've tried to help a lot of young artists get started.

Artists in general never stay in the same place; we keep growing. It's still you: you still have that core that you always had, but you work with new people and hear new things.

A lot of artists have really been supportive over the years.

Artists working for other artists is all about knowing, learning, unlearning, initiating long-term artistic dialogues, making connections, creating covens, and getting temporary shelter from the storm.

Most artists work all the time, they do actually, especially good artists, they work all the time, what else is there to do? I mean you do.

Artists change how we see the world - and that can have value in the way people do business.
