I have a lot of respect for all the artists I get compared to, even if, as an artist, you prefer to have your own identity.

I'm privileged that I'm an artist.

I respect artists so much, and I absolutely love music as the ultimate art.

I've always been a fine artist.

I set my sights upon becoming the kind of artist who would make a contribution to art history.

The nice thing about the world that I've been able to inhabit for the last couple of years is that I'm given a lot of freedom. Not all artists really get that.

I've achieved what every artist wants, which is that some of their work will outlive them.

It has been my fate in a long life of production to be credited chiefly with the equivocal virtue of industry, a quality so excellent in morals, so little satisfactory in art.

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.

I've spent my life pursing excellence as an artist, which is what I always wanted to do anyhow.
