Artist Quotes
-
Give shape, artist! don't talk!
Your poem be but a breath.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
-
Anything an artist does is to show ourselves as we really are, which is a complex thing. I don't think that one work of Philosophy or Art, or Letters, or Acting, or Middle Playing, or Tightrope Walking, or Flea Circuses has made mankind better, if by better you mean kinder, wiser, more tolerant of each other. One thing self knowledge. Knoticayton: know thyself.
Peter O'Toole

I think it's becoming balanced. You have a lot of artists coming from New York and LA. For a while it was just Atlanta. Now I see big artists everywhere, to be honest. The way the Internet is now, people aren't going to care where you're from, as long as you have some sick shit going on.

I went to an art high school in Washington D.C., and I majored in visual art. When I started there, I was horrible - couldn't draw, couldn't sketch, couldn't do anything. I remember at one point I came to terms with the fact that I had to work my ass off to do well and that's exactly what I did. I drew and drew and drew, and it worked - I ended up getting the award for best artist and went on to apply to design school because I loved it so much. I think it really speaks to the idea that you can in fact excel at whatever you put your mind and your heart to.
