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'm an artist, and the need to get inside myself and be creative and be other people is a part of who I am. I don't imagine I'll abandon that completely.

Sometimes as an artist you get wrapped up in what you are doing and you can't be objective.

Part of being an artist is that you are always concerned you don't have what it takes. It... keeps us honest.

So much of what we do as artists is a combination of personal experience and imagination, and how that all creeps into your work is not so linear.

I don't think there is too much art involved in what I do.

For the life of me, I'll never understand how you can be an artist but not want people to understand who you are as a person.

What people don't understand is that how you are as an artist depends on how you are emotionally.

I don't know very many people in the art world, only socialise with the few I like, and have little time to gnaw my nails with anxiety about any criticism I hear about.
