Studio Quotes

A creative block is a fear about the future, a guess about the dangers dwelling in the dark computer and the locked studio Picture Quote #1

The artist, who must venture into the studio and risk there, and then venture into the marketplace and risk again, is obliged to learn how her defences work, so that she can drop and raise her guard instantly Picture Quote #1

I thought the only way you can get into things is... through the basement... exactly where my studio was... I could creep upstairs and snatch at things, and bring them down with me... where I could munch away at them Picture Quote #1

Of course I will look at anything, but I have not got the time or the patience to keep on looking at art that I know could be better. I don’t want art that needs fixing, I want art that sends me back to the studio to fix my own Picture Quote #1

When I’m in the studio I often hunger for the road. And when away I long for the efficiency of the studio Picture Quote #1

An artist needs the best studio instruction, the most rigorous demands, and the toughest criticism in order to tune up his sensibilities Picture Quote #1

Things don’t get tough in the studio. Sometimes things get tough outside the studio and going in the studio is a relief, a sanctuary, therapy Picture Quote #1

I have never been interested in personal gain or profit. This business and this studio have been my entire life Picture Quote #1

We’ve got to fight against bigness. If a school gets too large, you lose an intimacy with the students; they begin to feel they’re just part of a big complex. I don’t think you can create too well in a big plant. That’s why I always tried to avoid bigness in the studio Picture Quote #1

I wanted to retain my individuality. I was afraid of being hampered by studio policies. I knew if someone else got control, I would be restrained Picture Quote #1

As a young person, you have no fixed address, no studio, no money for materials, so I made things sort of on the run. That life doesn’t favor the stability and spatial demands of painting Picture Quote #1

I find it a little stressful when you’re in a really nice studio and you feel time ticking and the bill getting higher Picture Quote #1

Everybody’s able to pour into each other creatively, and pop into the studio and pop out. It feels like a community. As an artistic community I think it’s really cool Picture Quote #1

Sometimes you’re a psychiatrist and sometimes you’re a group therapist. The dynamics in between people and the misgivings sometimes that artists have when they get into the studio because they’re under a different level of scrutiny. A lot of them can be insecure about it. My job is not simply to make musical determinations but sometimes to just keep people from flipping out during the process Picture Quote #1

I had some pretty lucky and good living situations; thankfully I never got forced out of an apartment. A lot of my friends got evicted or pushed out and couldn’t afford a new place. For me, I wanted more space to set up a home studio, but there was no way to afford that Picture Quote #1

To me the most important thing is getting into a studio and making an album that is 12 or 14 amazing songs, getting up onstage, and making people happy by livening the rock Picture Quote #1

It’s a weird thing when you make records. You try to hear it before you make it, so you walk into the studio with this idea of what you expect to happen, and that usually changes. That usually turns into something else, and that’s a good thing. If everything was as you imagined it to be, it just wouldn’t be as much fun Picture Quote #1

My goal from the very beginning was just to write good songs that don’t require any production to be felt or understood. I wanted to be able to sit in a room with a guitar and play the song from beginning to end and have it be as impactful as if you heard the studio version with all the bells and whistles Picture Quote #1

I spend a lot of time working and with my family, so I don’t have much time around the edges to do much else. I don’t really listen to a great deal of music. I love music, but since I spend a lot of time in the studio, we probably watch a movie rather than listen to albums. I get to hear stuff, but not on the grand scale Picture Quote #1

My studio is a fantastic combination of old and new, and that’s how I’ve always liked to work Picture Quote #1

When I was in my studio I didn’t give a damn what sex I was... I thought art is art Picture Quote #1

Then in college, besides economics, I also majored in studio art and got involved in photography and making short films and acting. But I didn’t know you could make a living that way Picture Quote #1

My landlord lives in the flat at the bottom of the stairs. I rent a studio flat from him, and live at the top of the staircase. There are two more flights of stairs and four more flats, but it’s me he is obsessed with Picture Quote #1

I go to the club just like a normal person. I might go to the studio, but I go everywhere like a normal person would Picture Quote #1

As far as outdoor work is concerned, a studio is only a garage; a place in which to store pictures and repair them, never a place in which to paint them Picture Quote #1

Artists should imprint their handwriting on the work, because if they give a piece to a fabrication studio, the craftsmen there may actually be too perfect; you don’t see the quirks that the artist would have developed Picture Quote #1

I don’t even do anything in real life. I just sit in my studio and write, I call my friends, I watch television. I don’t do anything Picture Quote #1

I love working with women. I think it’s because I spent so much time in my brother’s heavy metal band. Sweaty boys in the rehearsal room. It’s nice to just be in the studio with a fragrant lady Picture Quote #1

Whenever I got a new studio I made the largest possible painting, and since the ceiling was low, the painting became horizontal. As I changed studios and got larger spaces, I made bigger paintings Picture Quote #1

I benefit from contemplation, but it’s a great antidote to that, having someone interesting come into the studio environment to be painted, so that I can experience a little bit of their world Picture Quote #1
