“I always knew I was gonna be an artist. I was very confident in that.”

Sometimes I’ll be watching a movie then think to myself that I could do a better job.

I grew up listening to a lot of emo music, a lot of rock music, a lot of rap music, a lot of trap music, funk, everything.

I never dress the same way for a week – I’ll dress like a whole other person the next week.

My mommy raised me so well.

If you like how people look when they’re all covered in tattoos, then you should be covered in tattoos.

There’s a lot of cat videos. Cats are just hilarious.

I did not always know I was gonna get tattoos.

My tattoos have become a part of me. When I look in the mirror, I just see my face.

It’s either love or hate with me. People really can hate me.

Music is the only thing keeping the peace when I’m falling into pieces.

My mom has been calling me Peep my whole life. That’s how I got the name.

I wish I was a little less passionate. I’m a very passionate person.

I don’t care what people think of me. I don’t even care what happens to me.

I can’t be normal. I’m probably bipolar.

Some days, I’ll be very down and out, but you won’t be able to tell, really, because I don’t express that side of myself on social media. That’s the side of myself that I express through music.

Everything changes with time. You can’t predict where you’re gonna be next year; you have no idea.

The object of the artist is the creation of the beautiful. What the beautiful is another question.

Even though Prince wasn’t rapping and it was a whole different era, it shows how artists expressed themselves without saying too much, and that was the real beauty of the art.

To be an artist or a writer is to be this weird thing – a hand worker in an era of mass production.

Let not a man do what his sense of right bids him not to do, nor desire what it forbids him to desire. This is sufficient. The skillful artist will not alter his measures for the sake of a stupid workman.

One doesn’t need to know the artist’s private intentions. The work tells all.

I pay tribute to the writing always. The writer is a creative artist and the director is an interpretive artist and the actors are interpretive. You take zero and make it into something, that’s always amazing to me.

The out-of-work actor wears out more than shoe leather. The very sensibilities that make him an artist are shattered by the disregard he is shown as a human being.

Temperament is something that is an integral part of the artist. Not temper, temperament. There is a vast difference.
