When you are an artist you can turn your hand to anything, in any style. Once you have the tools then all the artforms are the same in the end.

I'll paint you moments of gold, I'll spin you Valentine evenings.

I'm well past the age where I'm acceptable. You get to a certain age and you are forbidden access. You're not going to get the kind of coverage that you would like in music magazines, you're not going to get played on radio and you're not going to get played on television. I have to survive on word of mouth.

All art is unstable. Its meaning is not necessarily that implied by the author. There is no authoritative voice. There are only multiple readings.

I'm not sure that an art career would have any benefit for me; I'm not sure it's what I want. I don't think I want to be a designer-rock artist.

Everything we look at and choose is some way of expressing how we want to be perceived.
