Quote

I never wanted to be called an artist. I wanted to be called a photographer.

I didn't want to just be an artist and let someone else have all that control over me. I knew I would have to produce.

I only wanted to be a songwriter. I never wanted to be a singer. And I never wanted to be famous.

I didn't expect to become an artist. I was not comfortable going out on the road.

And, you know, I never wanted to be a singer.

I want to be an artist. I don't want to be a celebrity.

I'm not looking to be an artist to make money. I'm looking to be an artist.

For the life of me, I'll never understand how you can be an artist but not want people to understand who you are as a person.

I didn't want to be that artist that is successful as a result of someone else. Not that that's wrong, but I felt like I had what it took. I really believed I could do it on my own, so I wanted to try, at least.
