You look at most artists, the arc of their career, there's a definite decline at the end. And that decline could set in at any time. In your 50s, or your 60s and 70s if you're lucky. Time goes by fast, and you've got to be busy all the time.

The best artists are gone now.

I think all artists need to try to improve, or their work gets stale.

You see so many artists who are so talented end up living sad, empty lives. This industry takes so much out of you that without the accountability and leaving God in the center, you can be left so empty and void.

So many artists try to be something that they're not.

Artists rarely do the same thing over and over again. Art is about the new, doing things in a new way.

All artists are people of growth. It's like food, you take the good and leave the rest.

As long as artists can make something, artists will continue to survive.

I don't know many artists who are happy with themselves all of the time.
