I feel, as an artist, I should be able to express who I am and the things I come from, and the places I want to also be.

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.

To be a great artist, you need to know yourself as best as you possibly can. I live my life and delve into my own psyche. It's more about exploring how I feel rather than making pale imitations of something that came before. We are unique beings, and the way we look at things is our own.

I knew I wanted to be an artist, but I didn't really know what it was I wanted to say.

I want to be an artist that everyone can relate to, that's young, happy and fun.

Someone asked me a while back, 'Why do artists always write about love?' And I was like, 'Love is the coolest thing that's ever happened in the world.'

Great artists are the ones who have put their entire selves out there to be adored, humiliated, to be picked at, cherished, all of those things, and haven't shied away from that.

To be an artist you have to give up everything, including the desire to be a good artist.

I always wanted to be an artist, but I didn't really know how someone could make a life out it.
