Especially for my first album, I struggled with even the thought of being a solo artist.
I made a few records here and there by default, but I wasn't ever comfortable in that role. I wasn't comfortable on stage. We'll see how it goes this time.
Most artists are notoriously insecure, and I fall into that category.
I have to tell you, you can't have an ego when you're an actor. A lot of actors have them, but in reality most of those people are just sensitive artists dying for a hug and a compliment.
Any artist always has misgivings about calling himself an artist.
I didn't even think my music was good enough to get on the radio in Australia.
I'm worried about myself. Glizzy gang, that's it. I'm not worried about no other rappers.
All the things that can happen to an artist regardless of how prepared they are and how smart they are and hard-working they are and attractive - doesn't matter. There's always somebody cuter. There just is.
I'm very hard on myself as an artist to begin with, so I personally don't even think I have the proper chops to sell a record, but people think differently.
I was never shielded from the realities of what it meant to be an artist and that made me afraid to be an artist because I wanted to know that my life was secure.
I think there's, you know, somewhere inside of us there's that - that fear of one day waking up and, you know, the fans - the fans move on to the next band or something.
