Artists Quotes

In general, you have great artists who have died far too early and who have left great cultural impact. If you look at people like Vincent van Gogh or Jean-Michel Basquiat-there’s a long, long list of artists who have died in tragic circumstances, and far, far too early Picture Quote #1

I know that some of the great painters and some of the great artists didn’t even start to ‘peak’, as you say, till they were in their fifties and sixties. And God knows, history is full of artistic people that weren’t even recognized till they were dead and gone Picture Quote #1

I think that when you’re making your way up in the music industry, you have all these heroes and the reasons why they are your heroes. As soon as you get into the industry, your guidelines change a little bit. For me, my heroes now are great people first and great artists second Picture Quote #1

The truth is . . . that the great artists of the world are never puritans, and seldom ever ordinarily respectable. No virtuous man - that is, virtuous in the YMCA sense - has ever painted a picture worth looking at, or written a symphony worth hearing, or a book worth reading, and it is highly improbable that the thing has ever been done by a virtuous woman Picture Quote #1

Each film has its processes. It doesn’t mean that all animated films have to be like Boy and the World, but creators have to have total freedom. There are films that are born with the purpose to sell. They are still admirable films with great artists and great visuals, but we wanted to use a more radical approach to create art. That’s what we tried to do Picture Quote #1

I get a lot from great 90s artists like Juliana Hatfield, The Pixies, and bands like That Dog and The Breeders Picture Quote #1

The reality is that art has often risen to greater heights than the people who created it. Many flawed artists have created great works of art. You have to decide if you are going to listen to Richard Wagner’s music or not because he was very anti-Semitic Picture Quote #1

When I lived in Seattle and Oregon, we partied, which is a large reason I don’t know drugs or alcohol now because I saw the Destruction of so many great musicians and artists Picture Quote #1

The fans get to see you, and you can do great by your record if you have a great performance or a great night there. That’s all part of the business. But at their core, awards shows are not really a sincere thing. For a lot of years, the artists had to pay to play their own set Picture Quote #1

Like the seasons of the year, like history, truth also repeats itself. But we seldom recognize it when great poets or true artists - the prophets and the priests of our day - present it to us in garments spick and span, following the fashion of the age, the slant of its fancy, the turn and temper of its mind Picture Quote #1

Artists get to step outside their comfort zone a ‘lil bit and we get some great songs!! Picture Quote #1

We had been reading about these beatniks who hung out or lived in Greenwich Village, and we wanted to find out what a ‘beatnik’ was, and so a friend and I went right to the source. What we learned, of course, was that beatniks were mostly artists Picture Quote #1

With some artists, I’ve noticed that after their songs have been licensed, on their next album you can totally hear they’re trying to write a song for ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and it doesn’t work. It’s just one of those things that has to feel genuine to last a long time Picture Quote #1

Growing up, my mom was a painter, my best friend was a painter, my husband is a painter. For a long time I knew artists, and I didn’t know any writers Picture Quote #1

I am one of those artists who knows where their money is. I pay my bills; I take care of my mama. I handle my business. I am a businessman. I go to meetings and take care of things, so it’s a lot more than just partying and turning up Picture Quote #1

There are very few of us, who reach my advanced age, who are still working in the business, as writers. As artists, people can hang out longer Picture Quote #1

So why did poor artists originally hang around in cafes?I don’t know. Inspiration from the atmosphere.Ha! No, you’ve been tricked, too, just like the rest of us. Cafes didn’t have inspirational atmosphere at first. That only came later, when you knew artists had been hanging around in them Picture Quote #1

One thing I’ve always loved doing is hanging out and talking music with other artists Picture Quote #1

I think most artists would be happy to have bigger audiences rather than smaller ones. It doesn’t mean that they are going to change their work in order necessarily to get it, but they’re happy if they do get it Picture Quote #1

I feel like artists that are always quite sad in real life always make really happy music, and artists who are really bouncy and bubbly always make really sad music Picture Quote #1

I’ve had the privilege of meeting and/or interviewing most of the top metal and hard rock artists at various points in my career and sharing their stories and music with millions of fans on air through TV and radio Picture Quote #1

In the bubble decade, making money as an end in itself boomed as a calling among students at elite universities like Harvard, siphoning off gifted undergraduates who might otherwise have been scientists, teachers, doctors, entrepreneurs, artists or inventors Picture Quote #1

I just want to live on the road. I can’t understand artists that don’t want to perform and, like, get on stage and do their songs for all their fans every night. If I’m not performing every night, I get totally depressed. I know that sounds really weird, but I hate sitting at home and not having a 1 A.M. performance now. It kills me Picture Quote #1

I really don’t have a theme when I start a sculpture. The rock guides me to the final sculpture. I think that is true for many creative sculpture artists Picture Quote #1

I used to have sort of mixed feelings about a producer whose only skills seemed to be going into the studio, schmoozing the artists and making them feel good. I can see now that in some cases, that’s what you have to do because that’s the only way you’re going to get them to produce Picture Quote #1

I don’t have any other skills. Some artists say that to mean that their embodied passion for art gave them no choice. I say it, very specifically, to say that I really didn’t have any other options Picture Quote #1

All were artists, playing foolish, having fights and making love as if the rest of the world had no racial problems whatsoever Picture Quote #1

My father started his own business, and before that was a freelance lecturer, and my friends are artists and musicians; they don’t have real jobs - none of us have real jobs Picture Quote #1

Not all artists have a responsibility to be socially or politically aware, but they do have a responsibility to make great art. They have to find some truth and put that in their music Picture Quote #1
