For the life of me, I'll never understand how you can be an artist but not want people to understand who you are as a person.

I am not an artist. I am a craftsman.

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

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

To be a great artist, you need to know yourself as best as you possibly can. I live my life and delve into my own psyche. It's more about exploring how I feel rather than making pale imitations of something that came before. We are unique beings, and the way we look at things is our own.

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.

As a fashion designer, I was always aware that I was not an artist, because I was creating something that was made to be sold, marketed, used, and ultimately discarded.

You need a big ego to be an artist.

I didn't want to just be an artist and let someone else have all that control over me. I knew I would have to produce.
