I always feel like it is a privilege to be able to be an artist and to be able to exhibit my work all over the world.

I've probably represented almost every major artist in the world, either directly or peripherally, at one time or another.

The artist is something of an outsider in America. I have always felt that America does not value its artists, certainly not in the sense that the Europeans do.

I love making up visual works of art in language. I get to be an artist without actually being an artist in that sense.

When I land in a country and they ask for 'occupation,' I always just put 'artist.' I think that covers all of it.

I pride myself on being the type of artist who can work half in the R&B world and half in the pop world.

Conquering America for a U.K. artist is incredible because that's what everybody wants and dreams about. The accomplishment is dominating a market which you aren't familiar with.

I do greatly admire Australian artists.

Every artist seems to me to have the job of bearing witness to the world we live in. To some extent I think of all of us as artists, because we have voices and we are each of us unique.
