I always knew that I wanted to be creative, that I wanted to create something

I'm not an educated man. I only know what I'm told, and I'm not told that much; I have no frame of reference for how to place things in history be a responsible leader. All I can do is be an artist.

I feel like there's no real innovation in having some music. It's more just unique personalities and unique expressions, and you being able to tell your story.

But then it hasn't really been a focus of our government to make us an educated people.

I see a lot of patterns in our behavior as a nation that parallel a lot of other historical processes.

I believe that when you go into a gallery or a museum, the most powerful pieces are the ones that don't have the words in the corner that distract you from the larger piece.

Life is too short not to create something with every breath we draw.
