I thought I would be a visual artist when I was growing up, so I'm always up for a bit of experimentation.
Much like every artist or every creator, I got into comics as a kid, and the most important thing was the 'bang zoom' of it. As many explosions as possible.
Any 'artist' makes a living by expressing what others can't - because they're unaware of their feelings, they're too afraid to express those feelings, or they lack the skills to communicate and be understood.
The workman in the true sense of the word - the artist in guns - is either extinct, or hidden in an obscure corner. There is no individuality about modern guns. One is exactly like another.

Fiction is based on reality unless you're a fairytale artist.
If I was just a fan of music, I would think that I was the number one artist in the world.

Film acting has been a very pure experience, because you have to give the purest form of yourself as an artist.
The reason why I'm not a pop star is I would have hated it. I'll stick to being an artist. I'm not trying not to be commercial; I am just doing what I do. I have finely tuned tastes, and that gets prioritized above everything else. That's just how it is.
The true artist doesn't substitute immorality for morality. On the contrary, he always substitutes a finer morality for a grosser one.
The artist, like the God of the creation, remains within or behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible, refined out of existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails.
I don't feel like my sound is similar to any female artist that's out right now, so I definitely feel like we just need some Texas flavor.
As an artist, I am very proud of 'Ek Thi Daayan.' It was a supernatural flick and a huge risk, since not many films are made like that.
We live in a fractured world. I've always seen it as my role as an artist to attempt to make wholeness.
