Most of the artists I know are crazy in one way or another. I think that's why you get into it. You're in pursuit of a certain sort of peace that's very, very, very difficult to come by.

A time comes when you need to stop waiting for the man you want to become and start being the man you want to be.

I tend to be not my own best company. I can get a little lost when - if I don't have my work to occasionally focus me.

The moment you begin to depend on audience reaction, you're doing the wrong thing. You're doin' it wrong, it's a mistake, it's not right. You can't allow yourself, no matter what, to depend on them.
