Kris Kristofferson – HuffPost 6.20.12

Mike Ragogna: Kris, do you have any advice that you can share with artists pursuing a career in this business?

Kris Kristofferson: Well, I would have to say just be yourself and be as honest as you can. If what you’re doing is what you love, you can’t go wrong. If you’re in it for the wrong reasons-money and fame-you might still get it, but odds are, there are still going to be some really tough moments. You have to believe in yourself and love what you’re doing, whether or not other people do. A painter has to do the same thing. That’s the way I’ve lived my life, and it’s been worth it.

MR: It sure has, you’re Kris Kristofferson. (laughs)

KK: (laughs) Well, I’ll probably be doing this until they throw dirt on me.
