“I'm worried about being pigeonholed as an artist, especially a female ...” — Kate Nash Quote

“I'm worried about being pigeonholed as an artist, especially a female one, but I think, essentially, it's the music which people judge you by.”

“Listening to Bikini Kill's Kathleen Hanna gave me the confidence I needed to get up on stage and be photographed every night on tour.”

“As many problems as there are with Hollywood, I feel so much more protected because if there's a serious issue, I have someone I can talk to. Where's that in the music industry? We need it.”

“There were so many weird shows when we were younger. 'Clangers.' 'Button Moon.' 'The Moomins.' All very weird, but very cool too.”

“The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players are the most wonderful creatures.”

“People send me songs all the time that are literally no-brainer hits... but for me, I'm an artist because I'm a writer.”

“I think in my late 20s, I was starting to enter that realm of complacency, which is the most terrifying place I can imagine as an artist. I felt time creeping up on me.”

“I'm a contemporary artist and I show in art galleries and museums. I show a number of photographs and films, but I also make television programs, books and some appetizing, all with the same concept.”

“The big pay-off was to work as an artist and gain some shred of respect from your friends, who were also artists. But there was never any notion that you could make a living out of art. On the rare occasions you had a gallery show, and sold a little work, well, that was just gravy.”

“I needed to be pushed as an artist and as a person.”

“I liked the name Saadiq and didn't want to be known as an artist as Raphael Wiggins.”
