Quote

I don't like publicity, being in the limelight.

You have to find what makes you stable in the storm. Then, no matter what's happening round you, no matter what the hype or the publicity, you can still manage to make leaps in your work as an artist.

It's like half the campaign of selling a record is trying to convince people that you're an artist. Well, I am an artist. This is what I do.

Frankly, I don't like publicity.

If you want to get known as a singer you hire five sexy chicks and let them fight over you onstage and for the cameras. That's publicity, man.

I'm not a mass-appeal artist.

If my work was good enough, I would never have to do publicity.

I don't stage my own publicity.

Now, if there was one woman in the world who didn't need publicity, who always had too much publicity, it was me.

You need a big ego to be an artist.
