There are great disciplines from being a sportsman that you can transfer into being an artist. The preparation, the sacrifice, the constant desire to improve.

Believe it or not, most people think of me as a recording artist, but actually the way I think of myself and the way I earn my living is as a performing artist.

I make a good living and I've never looked at myself as being an artiste.

I don't call myself an artist. I act. That's what I do.

I don't consider myself an artist. I consider myself a very opinionated man who uses words as fighting tools.

I don't think of myself as an artist. I'm just a guy who can write.

So I don't think of myself as just a musician at all, I think of myself as an artist.

I would hardly call myself an artist in that sense; I doodle, I draw, I'm not a trained artist, I couldn't sit down and do an accurate portrait of anyone.

I don't think you should categorize yourself as an artist.
