In a way, I envy the freedom artists have. Artists can push themselves beyond their limits, in pursuit of their ideas and their vision, even if they are inhabited by demons that can also play tricks on them.

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

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

I see so many activists... who are artists because they feel that they have the power of communication.

Artists themselves are not confined, but their output is.

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

Artists can do whatever they want!

Everybody is bound by some social rules. But I think that artists need some kind of freedom to explore their minds and that some of them tend to take that freedom to live a little more openly or a little more dangerously, sometimes a lot more self-destructively, than other people.

I think people are intolerant of artists.

I think I come from a time when all the artists I grew up with and I loved always used to try and push the boundaries, and there doesn't seem so much of that, really.
