Sarah Bernhardt -
As an artist, I think it's critical for keeping yourself alive that you try to get your hands into something a little bit more intensely. It's one of the reasons why I love theater because you never actually let go of it and it never feels like there's a tremendous distance between the process and the product.

I'm doing exactly what I was supposed to do. Yeah. I didn't exactly choose this. My own life, if it were up to me, would be very, very quiet.

I'm living in a world that was created a hundred years ago with vaudeville and people traveling around and medicine shows and things and making live music on stage and I'm still doing that.

It's something that you're not going to find with an artist who's been around for two or three years, or even ten years.

Kalup Linzy -
Few artists have influenced the sound and trajectory of popular music more distinctly, or touched quite so many people with their talent.

Barack Obama -
I want to communicate. I do; every artist does. That's why you're an artist.
