Artist Quotes

You don’t see a lot of black rock stars. The music industry tends to be segregated stylistically. It’s hard for a black artist to cross over to rock music Picture Quote #1

I take cabs if I need to get somewhere or I take car service. I don’t drive, I wouldn’t mind riding a bike... People think that because you become an entertainer you gotta have this rock star thug image. I’m an artist, man. I’m going to live like an artist Picture Quote #1

Romanticizing the act of writing or any other art is not very helpful to the artist or the art. It’s much better if one simply does Picture Quote #1

My real background was in art studies. At the beginning I was a painter, then I was this graphic designer, then I became an illustrator, then I was a comic artist. But for me it’s a different way of expression, a different field of art. They’re not separated; everything for me is related Picture Quote #1

I’m quite arty. I didn’t know whether to become an artist or musician but I realised I could paint with music. All my songs have colours Picture Quote #1

I would say being deeply involved in the art world would help keep a young artist on track. Doing what you love, so that your focus is your artistry Picture Quote #1

There are great disciplines from being a sportsman that you can transfer into being an artist. The preparation, the sacrifice, the constant desire to improve Picture Quote #1

The great thing about doing art shows is you get to meet the people who are interested in your art, and I think that when you’re purchasing a piece of art it’s a tremendous bonus to get to meet the artist because you get a chance to pick their brain a bit and find out first hand what the piece is about for the artist Picture Quote #1

I think every artist subconsciously wants to evolve themselves. Sometimes they get stuck in ruts because of pop culture, peer pressure, stuff like that. But what excites me most is exploring my own musical insights and expanding upon them Picture Quote #1

I’ve learned over the years that you’re going to be most successful at the things you’re most excited to do. Every artist has a special set of tools. When you really use those tools, and you make yourself feel really good about the product you create, I think you’ll find an audience for it. I’ve been very fortunate in that respect Picture Quote #1

Anytime an artist puts your name in a song, it’s unbelievable. It never gets old Picture Quote #1

As an artist, you put so much into what you do and it can all be torn down in a nanosecond Picture Quote #1

The biggest challenge for any craft person or artist is to accept the constraints of their medium and make something beautiful despite them. That’s kind of fun, actually Picture Quote #1

I definitely feel like I’m more of an artist than an athlete. But I’m good at both Picture Quote #1

It is not meant that the artist, in arriving at truth, must follow the way of the scientist, or, in stating it, the way of the philosopher Picture Quote #1

Art does not, like science, set forth a permanent order of nature, the enduring skeleton of law. Two factors primarily determine its works: one is the idea in the mind of the artist, the other is his power of expression; and both these factors are extremely variable Picture Quote #1

I just like to choose projects that will allow me as an artist to make my art Picture Quote #1

I’d actually really love to review books and films and plays, but you can’t be an artist and a critic. I would love it if I could Picture Quote #1

The tools are real. The viewer is real, you, the artist, is real and a part of everything you paint. You connect yourself to the viewer by sharing something that is inside of you that connects with something inside of him. All you have as your guide is that you know what moves you. All you have to do it with is a brush, some chemical and canvas, and technique Picture Quote #1

Through all the world there goes one long cry from the heart of the artist: Give me a chance to do my best Picture Quote #1

Every artist joins a conversation that’s been going on for generations, even millennia, before he or she joins the scene Picture Quote #1

We aren’t suggesting that mental instability or unhappiness makes one a better poet, or a poet at all; and contrary to the romantic notion of the artist suffering for his or her work, we think these writers achieved brilliance in spite of their suffering, not because of it Picture Quote #1

He had been standing still; for an artist, one of the more painful forms of death Picture Quote #1

The artist, and particularly the poet, is always an anarchist in the best sense of the word. He must heed only the call that arises within him from three strong voices: the voice of death, with all its foreboding, the voice of love and the voice of art Picture Quote #1

The artist is a collector of things imaginary or real. He accumulates things with the same enthusiasm that a little boy stuffs his pockets. The scrap heap and the museum are embraced with equal curiosity. He takes snapshots, makes notes and records impressions on tablecloths or newspapers, on backs of envelopes or matchbooks. Why one thing and not another is part of the mystery, but he is omnivorous Picture Quote #1

Films today show only a dream world and have lost touch with the way people really are... In this country, people die at 21. They die emotionally at 21, maybe younger... My responsibility as an artist is to help people get past 21... The films are a roadmap through emotional and intellectual terrain that provides a solution on how to save pain Picture Quote #1

Any artist who respects himself ought to be, and in every sense of the term, an emigre Picture Quote #1

One should not become an artist because he can, but because he must. It is only for those who would be miserable without it Picture Quote #1

I cannot draw a human figure if I don’t know the order of his bones, muscles or tendons. Same is that I cannot draw a human face if I don’t know what’s going on his mind and heart. In order to paint life one must understand not only anatomy, but what people feel and think about the world they live in. The painter who knows his own craft and nothing else will turn out to be a very superficial artist Picture Quote #1

Most artists are brought to their vocation when their own nascent gifts are awakened by the work of a master. That is to say, most artists are converted to art by art itself. Finding one’s voice isn’t just an emptying and purifying oneself of the words of others but an adopting and embracing of filiations, communities, and discourses. Inspiration could be called inhaling the memory of an act never experienced. Invention, it must be humbly admitted, does not consist in creating out of void but out of chaos. Any artist knows these truths, no matter how deeply he or she submerges that knowing Picture Quote #1
