The most important thing for me as an artist is having an identity. ↗

My dad's side of the family had lots of artists and musicians. There's an emotional, quite sentimental quality to Slavic culture. It's very open, it loves art, it loves music, it loves literature. It's very warm, it's very up, it's very down. I would celebrate that. ↗

I have not become the artist I believe I am. I want to become a stadium act. I'm not done at all. ↗

I think most paintings are a record of the decisions that the artist made. I just perhaps make them a little clearer than some people have. ↗

But you have to understand that I consider myself a very modest artist, or whatever, and not of importance really at all - it is quite embarrassing to me to be asked my opinion about things. I am only a wee Scottish poet on the outside of everything. ↗

Asking an artist to talk about his work is like asking a plant to discuss horticulture. ↗

I think foreign countries really do like it when American artists sing in their language. And when you go over there and say, 'Hi, how are you?' in their language, they love it. It makes them feel like you're doing it just for them. We in America take so much for granted. ↗

Since I was the solo artist as well as the writer for the songs, I figured I had enough credits on it already. ↗

I'm very happy with my lot. I like the variety I get. You don't want to spend your life repeating yourself. It's true of any kind of artist, you want to explore as wide and far as you can go, so that's what I've been trying to do. ↗
