I am one of those people that's never been really cynical about life, you know.

My question about my art and my music has always been, 'Am I good, or am I good because?' I'm not the artist who wants to have the 'because' attached.

It's not really that I'm interested in filmmaking. I'm interested in the instrument of it, you know.

I really don't care if people know who I am or what's said about me.

There are a lot of people who don't know me and what I am all about.

It was not my dream to be an artist. How could it have been? I thought, artist, much like a leader, was something you either were or weren't. Never something you set out to be.
