I guess what all artists want is for their work to touch someone or for it to be thought provoking.

If only the people around you know you're an artist, then you're doing something wrong.

I don't use the word 'artists' lightly.

Everybody's an artist. Everybody's God. It's just that they're inhibited.

There is always one or a few artists who appeal to all sort of people, and, of course, I want to be one of those people.

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

As a songwriter, if you can touch people and make them feel a little less alone in the world, then you've done your job.

I don't think of myself as an artist. I'm just a guy who can write.
