There are different kinds of artists: the ones that inspire you, and the ones that overwhelm you.

I remember being influenced by great artists when I was a kid - not to call myself a great artist - but people who I thought were great enough that they really made a difference. And so I would never want to be disappointed by them, and I want to make sure I never disappoint audience.

I have enjoyed all the artists I've worked with.

I grew up with artists.

Any artist that's involved in their work is inevitably going to have a focus in what they do.

Artists were always referred to as great artists. I thought that's what the profession was. One word: great-artist. There wasn't one moment in my life when I thought I wanted to be anything else.

I think the great artists, especially in literature, have always thought with the heart.

I set my sights upon becoming the kind of artist who would make a contribution to art history.

I knew that the artists that I loved the most had something about them that was very unfiltered and very rough.

Well, I worked with lots of different artists, of course.
