I think that fame only goes to your head if you are not a real artist. If you are a real artist and a good person who loves what they are doing, you are going to be the same person.

I just feel like everyone and their mother thinks they can be an artist. You can't. Sorry. I know I was born to be one.

One of the greatest things about being an artist is, as you get older, if you keep working hard in relationship to what you want the world to be and how you want it to become, there is a history of interesting growth that resonates with different moments in your life.

I don't think you should categorize yourself as an artist.

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.

I'd say, if you want to be an artist, start with your art; start with making great music and it will, hopefully, eventually cut through all of the nonsense that is out there.

I don't call myself an artist. I act. That's what I do.

I make a good living and I've never looked at myself as being an artiste.

For the life of me, I'll never understand how you can be an artist but not want people to understand who you are as a person.

I don't use the word 'artists' lightly.
