All artists have insecurity.

I get really insecure because even though I can speak in musician's terms, I don't know as much as real musicians.

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

I've worked with a lot of people who are more famous than myself who are terribly insecure.

Any artist always has misgivings about calling himself an artist.

All artists are egotistical maniacs with inferiority complexes.

Everybody is bound by some social rules. But I think that artists need some kind of freedom to explore their minds and that some of them tend to take that freedom to live a little more openly or a little more dangerously, sometimes a lot more self-destructively, than other people.

I think people are intolerant of artists.

As an artist you have to have a certain amount of arrogance.

To me, what makes an artist is a unique personality that they're not afraid to let show.
