I was raised to be some kind of artist.

If you only believe that you're an artist when you have a big advance in your pocket and a single coming out, I would say that's quite soulless. You have to have a sense of your own greatness and your own ability from a very deep place inside you. I am the one with the litmus test in my hands of what people need to hear next.

I consider myself an artist. God granted me some gifts so that I could express myself artistically.

To be a great artist, you need to know yourself as best as you possibly can. I live my life and delve into my own psyche. It's more about exploring how I feel rather than making pale imitations of something that came before. We are unique beings, and the way we look at things is our own.

Something in me was instinctively drawn to the life of a misunderstood, brilliant and wilful artist. I wanted to become one.

I wasn't born an artist. I was really good in science as a kid. I probably shouldn't have been an artist because I'm much more interested in science. But I was raised by artists. I can't really escape it.

My parents always saw me as an artist, and that greatly influenced me.

I think all any artist or person wants to do is grow spiritually, emotionally, professionally and mentally.

In life we try to grow and better ourselves. As an artist, I feel like I've grown tremendously.
