Arty. To me the word's got as much venom associated with it as 'wacky'.
Alex Kapranos
Image
You can only begin to be great when you embrace a sense of your own ridiculousness.

Just because you can leap off a drum kit doing a scissors kick while hitting a chord, people expect you to be an extrovert socially. But I'm not always comfortable with the idea of small talk at a party.
