I've always thought really good artists in general are overqualified. You're paid to stand there and do a line, but the guy has probably gone to drama school... but they have developed it to be just, like, one specific line.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am uncompromising to the point of huge dissension in the studio. And it's served me very well. My theory and my philosophy is, 'Compromise breeds mediocrity.' Obviously, you have to pick your battles, and the more success an artist has, the more they want to be involved in their own career, which is not necessarily a good thing.
Most artists don't understand what they do, and I don't think we have to. Other people do that better - they understand what I do better than I do!
Some people become artists for whatever reasons. Some of it's frivolous. And I don't think there should be any shame on that, but I think there comes a point in life where you want to offer more.
I just don't understand why more actors aren't artists.
All artists are people of growth. It's like food, you take the good and leave the rest.
So many artists try to be something that they're not.
Getting an audience requires luck as well as talent. Some artists are private and shy. It costs them too much.
Artists are very young, and say, Um, ok, to these industry dudes.
I believe artists deserve all the help they can get, so they can focus on being great artists.
For most artists, you take what you have and who you are, and then you expand on it to make it more entertaining. Everyone knows actors aren't the same people that they play in movies, but people somehow expect musicians to be a certain way all the time!
