Artist Quotes

I think confidence is the most appealing quality in any human being or any artist; that’s what really attracts us to people Picture Quote #1

The thing is, about a character, it’s not about being right, it’s about the truth. The truth comes from within, so you have to search as an artist for the truth Picture Quote #1

I’m not trying to save the world. As a musician and artist, it just ain’t me Picture Quote #1

As an artist, the more experience, the better the creation. I’m a very positive person Picture Quote #1

The decision as to when to photograph, the actual click of the shutter, is partly controlled from the outside, by the flow of life, but it also comes from the mind and the heart of the artist. The photograph is his vision of the world and expresses, however subtly, his values and convictions Picture Quote #1

I watch artists say they wrote all these songs and don’t mention anybody else who was involved, and that’s fine. I don’t expect an artist to give me credit. I know that they’re gonna take the credit for everything. But, it’s my job to give myself that exposure and not make excuses, not grow bitter Picture Quote #1

When you’re an artist, you can only do your own stuff. Even if you only write for other people, you’re really more focused on yourself. So while everybody’s out touring, I’m working on records Picture Quote #1

As soon as I got into music, I tried to be a working, real artist who gets paid for what he does, who doesn’t have a day job Picture Quote #1

What I look for when I see a piece of art for the first time is some kind of emotional, intellectual experience, that’s a combination of both of those things and is informed by my knowledge and something new that I see the artist doing Picture Quote #1

Are you an artist? Look about you. Is there a physical tool whose use you have mastered, a part of your body that responds utterly to your control? Is your motive esthetic? If so, you are an artist. If not, you are probably a writer Picture Quote #1

It is a shame to see in the work of an artist the limitations of his critics Picture Quote #1

A successful artist is inspired by his muse, and his muse is inspired by the payment of a commission Picture Quote #1

The labor of the alchemists, who were called artist in their day, is a befitting comparison for a deliberate change of style Picture Quote #1

There are two ways. One is to be a puppet, follow the culture, and do whatever they want. That was mentally disturbing to me, and still is. And the other way is to go out. I knew there would be problems from my family, and also from my environment. But I thought that physical pain would be better than the mental pain. And I started working as an artist Picture Quote #1

Artists see the world in a very different way than everyone else, and it’s important when the artist points a lens at the law Picture Quote #1

I didn’t want to pretend to be a conceptual artist that charges $10,000 for an experience. It’s just not what I am. I’m a photographer and I make prints. And people buy a print, and I understand that. But I’m uncomfortable with buying an experience Picture Quote #1

Even if I weren’t learning new roles and getting the opportunity to be coached by incredible people, I still think I would be so excited to have an opportunity to continue to push myself and grow, as an artist Picture Quote #1

Me being able to be acting and doing other things has opened me as an artist, and I think even more from a visual standpoint Picture Quote #1

You can usually tell when people aren’t being authentic, but that goes for every artist, not just white artists Picture Quote #1

A great artist... must be shaken by the naked truths that will not be comforted. This divine discontent, this disequilibrium, this state of inner tension is the source of artistic energy Picture Quote #1

What the rest of us see only under the influence of mescalin, the artist is congenitally equipped to see all the time Picture Quote #1

You cannot hide any secret. If the artist succor his flagging spirits by opium or wine, his work will characterize itself as the effect of opium or wine. If you make a picture or a statue, it sets the beholder in that state of mind you had when you made it. If you spend for show, on building, or gardening, or on pictures, or on equipages, it will so appear. We are all physiognomists and penetrators of character, and things themselves are detective Picture Quote #1

The artist who gives up an hour of work for an hour of conversation with a friend knows that he is sacrificing a reality for something that does not exist Picture Quote #1

And yet the artist will go on with his work without knowing in some way if any of his representations are sound or unsound. The artist knows nothing worth mentioning about the subjects he represents, and that art is a form of play, not to be taken seriously Picture Quote #1

There is a power in everything; it is the job of the artist to determine it and express it Picture Quote #1

When the individuality of the artist begins to express itself, what the artist gains in the way of liberty he loses in the way of order Picture Quote #1

Let them understand above all that the artist works from necessity; that he, too, is a minute element of the world to whom one should ascribe no more importance than so many things in nature which charm us but which we do not explain to ourselves Picture Quote #1

An artist must be very careful not to look for models. As soon as one artist takes another as model, he is lost. There is no other point of departure than reality Picture Quote #1

When you see what you express through photography, you realize all the things that can no longer be the objectives of painting. Why should an artist persist in treating subjects that can be established so clearly with the lens of a camera? Picture Quote #1

No doubt, it is useful for an artist to know all the forms of art which have preceded or which accompany his. That is a sign of strength if it is a question of looking for a stimulus or recognizing mistakes he must avoid Picture Quote #1
