I have more of a vivid imagination than I have talent. I cook up ideas. It's just a characteristic.

Believe me, were I ever to accomplish anything, it would be in music, which has always attracted me; and, without overestimating myself, I am conscious of possessing a certain creative faculty.

I have been lucky in my life to have met people that are special, so extraordinary talented that they somehow are on a different plane. Sometimes these amazingly talented people find a way to keep reinventing themselves to stay relevant and alive. Some fall under the crushing vibrancy of their own intensity.

Creativity runs on automatic, no matter what's happening in other parts of my life. I can't help myself. It's been in me, and it evolves in me over the years. It's a condition in me.

What drives me is to still feel creative and like I'm pushing myself as an artist.

Being in the spotlight, you know, you tend to kind of forget who you are. And being an artist... it could be a very superficial job. It could be very pretentious as well.

Like all artists, I go through creative spurts.

So much of what we do as artists is a combination of personal experience and imagination, and how that all creeps into your work is not so linear.

As a creative person you just get an idea in your head, and sometimes you just can't shake it off.

I was not naturally talented. I didn't sing, dance or act, though working around that minor detail made me inventive.
