Why do people want to know exactly who I am? Am I a poet? Am I this or that? I've always made people wary. First they called me a rock poet. Then I was a poet that dabbled in rock. Then I was a rock person who dabbled in art.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People have a preconceived notion about who I am and it's interesting. It's like picking who you want to win for the Oscars and not seeing the movie. Before you make a statement about someone, get all the information and see everything before you make a judgment.
People want to know more about me. They want to know who I am.
I've been around long enough for people to know who I am and what my contributions are. They know me as more than just an artist. I think they know me as a woman as well.
All that I am is me. So I'm not really a poet or a writer or an actor or an activist; I'm me, and these are things that I do.
I always thought that poetry is the verdict that others give to a certain kind of writing. So to call yourself a poet is a kind of dangerous description. It's for others; it's for others to use.
There are so many people in the world and not everybody knows who I am, some people do, but I just don't think a lot of people know who I am.
Because people are very interested in my poetry, in what I say.
I am not quite a poet but I am something of the kind.
I'm much more of a musician than a poet. I just feel much more confident about my musical abilities.
People ask who I am as an artist, who I am as a person. I don't ever want to tell them who I am; you can find that out in the music.
