I just wanted to be an artist. I didn't care how or what; I just wanted to express my artistic integrity, and I wanted the world to have a vision of what I was seeing in my mind.

I wanted to become an artist because it meant endless possibilities. Art was a way of reinventing myself.

Seriously, I wanted to be an artist because I saw that it meant endless possibilities. I came from a badly managed family background, so art was a way of reinventing myself.

I always wanted to be an artist, but I didn't really know how someone could make a life out it.

This image of wanting to be an artist - that I would in some way become an artist -was very strong. I knew for a long, long time that that's what I would be. But nothing I ever did seemed to bring me any nearer to the condition of being an artist. And I didn't know how to do it.

I always knew that I wanted to be an artist.

I knew I was artistic, and I wanted to do something in the arts.

I was raised to be some kind of artist.

I come from a family of business people, but I had the idea I wanted to become an artist.

That's part of the requirement for me to be an artist is that you're trying to share your personal existence with others and trying to illuminate modern life, trying to understand life.
