Quote

I know who I am and what I'm doing in my life and what I've accomplished and continue to accomplish as a performer, as a writer, as an artist, as a person, as a human being.

An artist or a creative person of any kind goes about their work because it's their path, it's what excites them, it's what aligns their soul with who they truly are, who they showed up to be.

The most important thing for me as an artist is having an identity.

You learn so much about yourself as an artist. I never would have thought that I could sing every night, you know? Travel and perform every single night, and travel to another city the next day and do it all over again? You learn a lot of new things about yourself, and you make a lot of connections with people.

There's a great social component to being a writer, to being 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.

Everyone always comes to one point in their life as an artist where you can either let your heart guide you or your ego.

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

I knew I wanted to be an artist, but I didn't really know what it was I wanted to say.
