What an artist is trying to do for people is bring them closer to something, because of course art is about sharing. You wouldn't be an artist unless you wanted to share an experience, a thought.

I'm kind of floating out there as an artist. I'm in a safe place where I can play a girlfriend or a best friend or a mommy or a lawyer, but a huge part of me is unused. I'm classically trained, historically inclined and somewhat revolutionary by nature, so I'm frustrated as an artist.

If I have an opportunity to do something safe or something challenging, I'll often choose the latter. Sometimes, the objective is to submerge my viewpoint with the artist.

That's part of the requirement for me to be an artist is that you're trying to share your personal existence with others and trying to illuminate modern life, trying to understand life.

To be an artist, you need to play inside your work.

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 artists, I think that one of the good qualities we have is that we're imaginative. We're resourceful. We like challenges.

I'm an artist, and I like the risk - I'm not in it for the sure things.

An artist's duty is rather to stay open-minded and in a state where he can receive information and inspiration. You always have to be ready for that little artistic Epiphany.

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.
