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.

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.

As an artist, you have to do what you feel passionate about. It has to be something you can connect with.

I love artists. I find them fascinating. To me, there really is a genuine magic in what they do.

Certain things you learn through exposure. It's really the elements which make up any artist. You really learn by example. You learn by influence. And some people have a huge impact on you, and that's how you become the artist you are.

It just happens in life, where you resonate with a particular artist. Or it can be a kind of food or a fashion - you discover it and it gives you a whole new lease on life.

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.

Working with other artists and sharing your passions is great.

I think each artist lives with purpose. A strong sense of purpose. We know who's come before us.

You need to know what makes artists tick. Having been through the process myself as a musician, since I was an early teen, gave me an advantage - understanding them from their point of view, because it's about them, it's not about you - it's their vision and what they're capable of achieving, and you're the conduit.
