Artist Quotes
-
You are an over-excited little man, with a need for self-expression far beyond the scope of your natural gifts. This is not discreditable. Neither does it make you an artist.
Tom Stoppard
-
I know of no American who starts from a higher level of aspiration than the journalist. . . . He plans to be both an artist and a moralist -- a master of lovely words and merchant of sound ideas. He ends, commonly, as the most depressing jackass of his community -- that is, if his career goes on to what is called a success.
H. L. Mencken

No great art has ever been made without the artist having known danger.
Rainer Maria Rilke

That's the only interaction I have with people, those talking shows. Most of the people in my phone book are artists, management, producers, engineers. I don't ever call people with, "Hi!

Henry Rollins
Black Flag

I think most people who decide to become a musician have to be prepared for some degree of struggle. It makes the art better if you go through some struggles. To be an artist, in any form, you have to develop some sense of compassion and empathy - it's an important quality for everyone to have, on a human level. But I think, as part of our job, you have to be able to do that, so suffering, tends - if you allow it - to let you look on the bright side. It will help with those senses.
Reeve Carney
-
If you're an artist, you're an artist; that's the only way I can explain it.
Malik Bendjelloul
-
Nowadays, you can be a fan of someone that's not an actor or artist. You can be a fan of someone that makes YouTube videos.

Oscar Wilde
