Artists are people who create beauty. That's the bottom line.

Making art is nothing but risk, always. If it's not risk, it's no good.

But I think frustration is hilarious. One of my missions is to bring humor into fine art. It's sacred.

I'm a perfectionist I guess. Everyone has to love me.

I had to learn to do stuff only for myself, and stop thinking about pleasing some imaginary client or boss. It's a habit that many artists get into that have worked in commercial ventures.

I throw dignity out the window, and just become a creature of the moment on the stage. I act like I'd never act in real life.
