You can only be free as an artist if you're free as a person.

It's only when an artist becomes a master that they are fully able to express themselves.

Every artist has to make their own statements and they have to live with them.

All artists have insecurity.

So many artists try to be something that they're not.

Not every artist is a role model.

All artists are egotistical maniacs with inferiority complexes.

Everybody is bound by some social rules. But I think that artists need some kind of freedom to explore their minds and that some of them tend to take that freedom to live a little more openly or a little more dangerously, sometimes a lot more self-destructively, than other people.

To me, what makes an artist is a unique personality that they're not afraid to let show.
