"An artist can be anybody. If you have a couple of beautiful, well-behaved children, I’d say you are an artist."

"With stage performances, the audience is already there, and you often have sound effects to build the hype. On the street it is different – you’ve got to adapt, and it’s not just about talent. You have to ask why people should give you money, and know how to get the crowd. 
I like being out under the sky and on the street, where you can see your audience’s faces. I believe a lot of creativity comes from the street and people here don’t really realise that. I chose to do this because nobody expects great things to be coming from the street; nobody takes busking seriously."
