I don't like artists who are actors. I like artists, but I don't believe in that.

For most artists, you take what you have and who you are, and then you expand on it to make it more entertaining. Everyone knows actors aren't the same people that they play in movies, but people somehow expect musicians to be a certain way all the time!

Each role demands the right actor. To play an artist, one must be an artist.

What part of people is resistant to an artist doing more than one thing? Is it somehow perceived as greedy? Anyone who has that weird volition to become an actor probably has a weird volition to do lots of other creative things - to write, to play music, to paint, to cook.

In general, I don't feel artists should need producers.

I'm an actor, but I'm an artist.

Sometimes being an actor is being a song in someone else's mixtape, so I really understand why more and more actors are making films of their own.

The new artists coming through were very materialistic and Hollywood, not so engaged in communication.

So many artists try to be something that they're not.

Not every artist is a role model.
