Artist Quotes

I felt most beautiful on the red carpet in Givenchys sheer lace dress at a dinner hosted by Givenchy in honor of Marina Abramovich at the closing of her Museum of Modern Art retrospective, The Artist is Present, in 2010. It was the first time I had been dressed for an event, and everybody just fell in love with the dress Picture Quote #1

They say your childhood influences your tastes and interests, or your approach if you’re an artist. So what you create, whatever you saw, whatever your childhood was like - it influences how you’re going to end up Picture Quote #1

Advances in technology have opened up possibilities in the cultural realm throughout history. I’m intrigued by developments in technology - as an artist it gives me a new palette to explore Picture Quote #1

I am a great admirer of Robert Vavra and love his beautiful photographs and books. He is a wonderful artist, a poet Picture Quote #1

As an artist, as I design and lay out a page, the less-important things, things I want you to spend less time looking at, I draw them very small, maybe even silhouette them. The more-important pivotal scenes, I draw them larger, maybe even a double-page spread Picture Quote #1

It was not my dream to be an artist. How could it have been? I thought, artist, much like a leader, was something you either were or weren’t. Never something you set out to be Picture Quote #1

I was an actor as a kid in Boston. Then I went to art school with Brice Marden, the Massachusetts College of Art. So the hybrid of being an actor and artist is a director Picture Quote #1

The word smart is not applied to all professions, even if you are smart in that profession. No one talks about smart lawyers. They may say a brilliant lawyer. They’ll talk about a creative artist. Smart is saved for scientists. It just is. It’s not even really applied to medical doctors. It applies to scientists in the lab figuring out what hadn’t been figured out before Picture Quote #1

I see myself as a hip-hop artist, but I never wanted to make music for a specifically white audience. Thats not what I grew up around Picture Quote #1

I was very disenchanted in the industry for a long time before I met GaGa. Everyone wanted a ‘Single Ladies’ for their artist, or a Puffy move Picture Quote #1

I always want to be growing in my craft. Any artist should - whether you paint, whether you do music or film - always grow and study Picture Quote #1

Snoop [Dog] is my favorite artist of all time. He’s someone I look up to Picture Quote #1

All I can do is say I smell a rat. I don’t know where it is or what kind of rat it is, but as an artist, I can express how. But I couldn’t responsibly stand up and tell people which way to go, because then I’m just as guilty as the people who are telling everybody else what to do and where to go Picture Quote #1

Reggie Watts is a most unusual talent: a huge vocal range, a natural musicality, and a sidesplitting wit. Is he a comedian? A singer? A performance artist? I’ve seen him a few times since then and I still can’t decide. Whatever, he ain’t like nobody else Picture Quote #1

The average parent may, for example, plant an artist or fertilize a ballet dancer and end up with a certified public accountant. We cannot train children along chicken wire to make them grow in the right direction. Tying them to stakes is frowned upon, even in Massachusetts Picture Quote #1

An artist should make concessions to the listener. That is why Bruckner dedicated one of his symphonies to the Good Lord Picture Quote #1

A historic, in-depth study of what it means to risk one’s life to be an artist. It is also a depiction of sexual confusions, ironic outrage and rage, and the shedding of society’s armor to create a female knight in pursuit of a vision. Georgia O’Keeffe is the one woman who was there first in the world of art Picture Quote #1

Mitt Romney is a businessman, a turnaround artist, a CEO. That is who he is. The former governor has experience in the public and private sector Picture Quote #1

This book blew me away. Kelly Parra writes with the keen eye of an artist. Graffiti Girl is warm, gutsy, and true-to-life - an unflinching, honest portrayal of young adults. A seamless and impressive debut Picture Quote #1

It’s not that you don’t make any money doing conscious rap music. You make a lot of money doing this, but if you’re greedy and you’re not satisfied with $500,000 a year, and you want $2 million a year, then you will suffer as a conscious rap artist Picture Quote #1

As a conscious rap artist, you should not want to be in a gangster market. You should be trying to establish your own market, create a place where you can be yourself and make some money and feed your family Picture Quote #1

If you’re a young artist, wondering what to call yourself, consider ‘multimedia artist.’ It’s so vague. Then, no one can say, ‘Hey, how come you’re a jazz person, and you’re making a pop opera? Picture Quote #1

The United States military is now using the music of Metallica and other heavy metal bands to break the will of Saddam Hussein supporters to get them to talk. Theyre blaring heavy metal music at them. That should make the artist feel pretty good, huh? Put your heart and soul into your last CD and the Army is using it to torture people Picture Quote #1

Art is frightening. Art isn’t pretty. Art isn’t painting. Art isn’t something you hang on the wall. Art is what we do when we’re truly alive. An artist is someone who uses bravery, insight, creativity, and boldness to challenge the status quo. And an artist takes it (all of it, the work, the process, the feedback from those we seek to connect with) personally Picture Quote #1

I always feel as if I stood naked for the fire of Almighty God to go through me--and it’s rather an awful feeling. One has to be so terribly religious to be an artist Picture Quote #1

An artist is only an ordinary man with a greater potentiality--same stuff, same make up, only more force. And the strong driving force usually finds his weak spot, and he goes cranked, or goes under Picture Quote #1

Thoughts and emotions which never perhaps were in the mind of the artist, never were anticipated, never were intended by him - may be strongly suggested by his work. This is an important part of the morals of art, which we must never lose sight of. Art is not only for pleasure and profit, but for good and for evil Picture Quote #1

Being scared is really a good thing. It’s being scared of being scared that’s bad. Being scared of walking through your fear, going to a place of true creativity - that’s what an artist is, that’s what he does. If you do that, then being inspired by your contemporaries or people from the past is really great Picture Quote #1

I don’t particularly consider myself just an artist. I’m a woman - I’m a human being Picture Quote #1

[Johnny Depp] a wonderful artist, and such a talented person. I got along with him, splendidly. He’s charming and wonderful to work with. He’s a dream Picture Quote #1
