Sometimes as an artist you get wrapped up in what you are doing and you can't be objective.

You tend to find the best in yourself as an artist when you're challenged.

Part of being an artist is that you are always concerned you don't have what it takes. It... keeps us honest.

I think, as an artist, it's very important to continue to be challenged and feel challenged all the time.

You need to know what makes artists tick. Having been through the process myself as a musician, since I was an early teen, gave me an advantage - understanding them from their point of view, because it's about them, it's not about you - it's their vision and what they're capable of achieving, and you're the conduit.

To be an artist you have to give up everything, including the desire to be a good artist.

You know what, if you compromise and do stuff that's not becoming to you as an artist, that's your fault.

As an artist, you have to do what you feel passionate about. It has to be something you can connect with.

Every artist says that he/she wants to do something challenging, and I'm not any different. If someone approaches me with a serious role, I'll be more than happy.

It's really easy to project this whole ideology of what being an artiste is, and I'm just not down with intellectualizing it. I just think, if you feel like doing something, then do it.
