“From now on, consider yourself a con artist.”
“But the downside of being con artist is that it very hard to con. Even if the lies you tell are to yourself.”
“No artist knows everything (yea, even this artist - piss-artist, con-artist, body-artist) but since every artist knows more than he can tell, all art is lying by omission.”
“Perhaps you considered yourself an oracle, Mouthpiece of the dead, or of some god or other.Thirty years now I have laboredTo dredge the silt from your throat.I am none the wiser.”
“A record deal doesn't make you an artist; you make yourself an artist”
“I remember growing up, saying you’re an artist it sounds pretentious but now it’s one of the only dignified things that you can call yourself. ”
