The responsibility of an artist is to be honest with themselves.

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

There's not really too many artists that young girls and young people can look up to and be inspired by. So I take it as my responsibility, sometimes, to be the person who has the voice to give people some truth about what we're doing.

Most artists don't understand what they do, and I don't think we have to. Other people do that better - they understand what I do better than I do!

Sometimes I think it's the responsibility of the artist to reveal a little more of themselves.

When there's writing that you really trust, it's very freeing as an artist.

Believing in yourself and what you do is so important. It took me a long time to find that confidence. If you're an artist and you're taking risks, then you're doing something right if some people don't get it.

I think an artist's responsibility is more complex than people realize.

You know what, if you compromise and do stuff that's not becoming to you as an artist, that's your fault.
