I would venture to warn against too great intimacy with artists as it is very seductive and a little dangerous.

The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.

There's a power in what we hold as artists, and part of that comes with responsibility... to share the human experience and really allow that to be seen.

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

Artists don't really want to be marginalized. They believe that everybody should be able to appreciate the experience that an artist gives them, an experience that connects us to each other in a deep way.

Most artists are notoriously insecure, and I fall into that category.

As artists, it's tempting to forget the audience's needs. Too often, we're self-centered and self-indulgent in what we share with the world. We're prideful, only showing what we deem as perfect or what we think our peers will respect.

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.

As an artist, it feels good that we've created something that is connecting with the audience, which is what we always strive to do.

I am an honest artist.
