I'm not sure I am a politician. I would say that I am still an artist, and I'm trying to use politics as an instrument for change.

I do struggle with how much and in which way, as an artist or celebrity, that you voice your political views.

I'm an artist, I'm not an activist.

Life and people are complex. A writer as an artist doesn't have the personality of a politician. We don't see the world that simply.

As an artist, what you do represents who you are. Coming from a genuine, honest place - that's what I'm trying to do.

Politics is politics; art is art. If you play a political role, you have to stop being an artist.

We artists have the dignity to tell the truth to the people, unlike politicians.

At the end of the day, I'm an artist. I may make work and decide to do something political, but it will come out of an artist's position. It won't come out of society telling me I have to. If I do, it's because I choose, as an artist, to do it.
