When a great artist gets my attention, I pursue it. If I don't, someone else will, you know what I'm saying?

I've always gotten along best with artists.

I have a lot of respect for all the artists I get compared to, even if, as an artist, you prefer to have your own identity.

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!

I respect artists so much, and I absolutely love music as the ultimate art.

I think that fame only goes to your head if you are not a real artist. If you are a real artist and a good person who loves what they are doing, you are going to be the same person.

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.

I don't consider myself an artist. I consider myself a very opinionated man who uses words as fighting tools.

You tend to find the best in yourself as an artist when you're challenged.
