In the music business, I found it was much more about interviews, photo shoots and appearances rather than actual performing, which I do best.

So much of what we do as artists is a combination of personal experience and imagination, and how that all creeps into your work is not so linear.

Certain things you learn through exposure. It's really the elements which make up any artist. You really learn by example. You learn by influence. And some people have a huge impact on you, and that's how you become the artist you are.

Well, I worked with lots of different artists, of course.

You don't know how much artists go through to make it look so easy. It's all in the practice.

Artists are definitely, like, under a sort of microscope of scrutiny more than others.

I am a hobbyist photographer so I relate to the visual arts that way, but I'm not a painter.

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.

I started shooting pictures because I had all these photographers around me, and life was kind of boring creatively because you play the same songs every night. So I looked for another outlet, and I started shooting.

I grew up with artists.
