I'm not creating an enigma or leaving mystery, I'm just respecting myself enough as an artist to give myself room to grow and not to be devoured all in one go.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As an artist, I think it's important to always keep growing, and I definitely want to keep challenging myself.
I'm an artist, and the need to get inside myself and be creative and be other people is a part of who I am. I don't imagine I'll abandon that completely.
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.
I am tapping into a place in you that is unexplored, and very dangerous, but I think essential to the creative life of an artist.
Being an artist, it's all a journey, and you learn where the subtle patterns lie.
In life we try to grow and better ourselves. As an artist, I feel like I've grown tremendously.
Part of being an artist is that you are always concerned you don't have what it takes. It... keeps us honest.
I'm growing as an individual, but your always growing. All of my albums are snapshots of where I am artistically.
I think I'm needed - as an artist, as an individual, as an entity, an enigma, an exhibitionist, an entertainer - as an alternative.
I just love expanding my horizons and growing as an artist. The only way you get to do that is by doing something that scares you or takes you out of your comfort zone.
