We have to show support for artists who are trying to own things for themselves.

Artists shouldn't deal with business stuff; that's not what we're trained in, and most of us aren't good at it.

Artists change how we see the world - and that can have value in the way people do business.

The producers want us to sell, sell, sell. That's my little joke. That's what we do by day; by night, we're artists.

There's a bunch of people who sit around and make excuses for themselves and get upset with artists, but you already know what this is - it's an ego-driven business.

Artists are notoriously snooty and suspicious of anything coming from the business community.

All artists are people of growth. It's like food, you take the good and leave the rest.

Most artists don't understand what they do, and I don't think we have to. Other people do that better - they understand what I do better than I do!

I think the job of artists is to stir things up.

You know, artists don't really have all that much experience of life. We make a huge amount out of the small experience that we do have.
