I feel like I've gotten to the point where when I get tired of making art I can make a smooth transition into making music and vice versa. There is always something to do.

If I'm in the business of making artwork that is designed on some level to sell a product, then I have to be very comfortable with the people I'm working with and I'd like to be proud of the end result regardless of its sale-ability.

It's important for me to have different tiers of value for the art. Some of the silk-screens are really affordable, but I do have some high-end silk-screens that are several color layers and a little more expensive, and then I have the paintings that can get way up there.

I recognize that no matter how old I get, how many records I've done, or what the public perception of me is, there are still exciting things that I haven't done.

I tend to over extend myself without really thinking throughthe realities of completing so many projects in a year, which generally means I'm going to be a little bit behind. I suppose that's the nature of the beast.

In fact, many musicians are the happiest when the artist and audience re-interpret or re-imagine the content of the songs.

I really try towork with an artist who is trying to create a long legacy of quality rather than trying to jump aboard a trend.
