As artists, we are eternally heartbroken.

A record deal doesn't make you an artist; you make yourself an artist

I'm not interested in people positioning me next to other artists.

I am an artist, and I have the ability and the free will to choose the way the world will envision me.

Some artists want your money so they can buy Range Rovers and diamond bracelets, but I don't care about that kind of stuff. I want your soul.

My work as an artist is completely separate from my work as a philanthropist.

I have to be really honest: People who say they can't escape the paparazzi are full of sh*t. Let me just be the artist to throw everybody under the bus. I don't spend lots of money on houses or lots of cars, but I do spend money on security and they never find me.
