Great artists have no country.

To retain his dignity, an artist must live in opposition. He must be critical of his country. If not, then he is worthless.

There are still great artists in the country format.

I wouldn't necessarily say she is a country artist. I mean, obviously Taylor Swift started in country, but she morphed into somewhat of a cultural icon, so, who am I to judge what she is?

What is nice about country music today is that most artists are not trying to do something everybody else is doing. They really are trying to develop their own uniqueness.

I'm not more than a musician that enjoys what he does and a Colombian that dreams and fights for peace in his country.

Every artist in the world likes his or her work to make people think.

Artists are like everybody else.

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

Country and western is ignored by the intellectuals. They don't look at it as an art form. They think it's just somebody sitting on his couch singing about his life.
