I didn't expect to become an artist. I was not comfortable going out on the road.

The problem turned out to be that I never was that kind of an artist.

I think that an artist is a bit like a computer. He receives information from the world around him and from his past and from his own experiences. And it all goes into the brain.

Back when I was in college, people used to talk about the alienation of the artist, not ever quite fitting in any place.

I wasn't born an artist. I was really good in science as a kid. I probably shouldn't have been an artist because I'm much more interested in science. But I was raised by artists. I can't really escape it.

I grew up with artists.

I feel like my peers now are artists like Madonna and the Stones, Michael Jackson and Prince. These are people who were able to take their careers beyond the normal here-today-gone-tomorrow life span.

I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.

Artists are like everybody else.
