Artists Quotes

There are so many artists who get to my age that get comfortable and just stick in a groove, and I really don’t want to do that Picture Quote #1

Art and money are closely related. Try sitting down with a group of artists and ask them what’s on their mind. Very quickly the topic shifts to money. And it can be very hard to get them off that subject Picture Quote #1

Artists, by definition innocent, don’t steal. But they do borrow without giving back Picture Quote #1

So it’s like the underground world no longer exists economically cause they’re not giving money back to their supporting artists Picture Quote #1

My first three-sisters novel in a while, ‘Sandcastles’ tells the story of the Sullivan family - two passionate artists and their three wildly different daughters. There’s also a renegade nun and a mystery man, but I don’t want to give too much away! Picture Quote #1

I think when you’re a fan of music - at least the way I’ve been a fan to artists that have really touched me - you’re with them for the long haul. They might do things that you don’t understand or agree with, but I think I’ve always tried to hold my judgment and give them the space to do what they need to do Picture Quote #1

Still, I wonder if more women artists, musicians and writers aren’t household names because we don’t have enough faith in our own pursuits to give ourselves the time we desperately need to be transformed by a creative vision. Maybe that glass ceiling isn’t really made of glass at all, but of sticky little fingers, dishes piled in the sink, and mortgages that demand two incomes Picture Quote #1

A lot of artists feel it’s not worth it to sign with a major label, because if you don’t have a giganto hit, then you’re not going to get a video made. You’re not going to probably get much tour support. You’re not going to get promotion. You’re certainly not going to get a publicist who’s going to pay much attention to you Picture Quote #1

I started on the original comics from Stan Lee and all the artists and storytellers did from there, and I got to the graphic novel that Chris Clairmont did, which is the one Stryker comes from - ‘God Loves, Man Kills’, which is a brilliant story Picture Quote #1

You don’t know how much artists go through to make it look so easy. It’s all in the practice Picture Quote #1

Politicians, bureaucrats, editors, new commentators, ‘economists’ teachers,’ and other word artists who denounce private enterprise and praise socialism are their own worst enemies...these attackers are unwittingly destroying the sources of their own livelihood. They kill the geese that lay the golden eggs - and don’t know it! Picture Quote #1

Picasso had a saying - ‘good artists copy, great artists steal’ - and we have always been shameless about stealing great ideas Picture Quote #1

The only artists I have ever known who are personally delightful are bad artists. Good artists exist simply in what they make, and consequently are perfectly uninteresting in what they are Picture Quote #1

There’s something peculiar about artists. They have ups and downs... After a while everything you do is just wonderful... then you slide back. If you’re a good artist you’re going to go down. And then it’s up to you Picture Quote #1

Trust is everything between two artists, or between subject and artist. You have to have trust or nothing good will come out of it Picture Quote #1

I think every artist should follow their vision; their hearts is what they need to reveal, not something that society is looking out for. That said though, I think also artists have, continuously good artists, have been good for their times Picture Quote #1

I think good artists know when they’re on a roll, and they recognize when lightning is striking. It’s a very fortunate thing to have that inspiration and not to overanalyze it or mess with it; you just follow it if you love what you do Picture Quote #1

It’s hard not to tell the truth with a camera. Artists are particularly good at that Picture Quote #1

There are makeup artists sometimes that have a jade face roller. If you’re really tired those are really good Picture Quote #1

There are so many great artists and most of them are women, but that’s good - the more the merrier! Picture Quote #1

Great artists make the roads; good teachers and good companions can point them out. But there ain’t no free rides, baby Picture Quote #1

Lofts were never supposed to be homes. They were vacant old factories and warehouses, taken over by artists looking for cheap space and good light Picture Quote #1

I was judgmental of artists who were exploring their sexuality, and I thought, Why are they doing that? They don’t have to. They’ve got a good voice Picture Quote #1

I think one of the things that writers and creative artists generally have to deal with is the censors that we have in our heads, the voices that we have that say you better not tell that and don’t tell that, and people will think you’re not a good girl, and your grandmother’s going to be mad at you and all of those things Picture Quote #1

I think functioning as a business manager can be a hindrance to having a real dialogue with the artist. I do think that artists need good lawyers and accountants, because they’re dealing with serious money. But an artist who stands behind a manager? That’s a little different. I think that can be a bad buffer Picture Quote #1

I’m in a position where, theoretically, I could play the same ten concertos and make a very good living bouncing around playing Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky and Barber, but I really think artists should keep pushing limits and trying new things Picture Quote #1

I’m not a pop artist. For me pop never was.... Pop is concerned with exteriors. I’m concerned with interiors. When I use objects, I see them as a vocabulary of feelings. I can spend a lot of time with objects, and they leave me as satisfied as a good meal. I don’t think pop artists feel that way Picture Quote #1

However, the radio and national media depend much more on the hype from a good record label, and from a ‘ buzz ‘ about a band, then from just one or two good shows. There are a lot of artists that have a ton of good press going for them, and still do not make it big in the US Picture Quote #1

Sultan Mehmet had good relations with the Medici family and other powerful Italian clans, especially in Venice and Florence, and at his request, they sent him artists and craftsmen by the dozen Picture Quote #1

It should be if you’re a good singer and a good songwriter, you should have your spot. You get everybody trying to release the prettiest guy, but that doesn’t mean they’re the best artist. Most of the time the true artists are just normal old dudes Picture Quote #1
