I studied political science and international relations, so I never considered myself an artist.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I make a good living and I've never looked at myself as being an artiste.
I don't think you should categorize yourself as an artist.
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.
I never wanted to be called an artist. I wanted to be called a photographer.
I grew up thinking art was pictures until I got into music and found I was an artist and didn't paint.
I have never been much of a painter.
I feel like I became an artist by default. I went to art college, but my interest was always more towards film than painting or sculpture.
I was exposed to the arts, but there was no one in my family who was an artist.
It's really easy to project this whole ideology of what being an artiste is, and I'm just not down with intellectualizing it. I just think, if you feel like doing something, then do it.
I am an artist and a political being as well.
