Artist Quotes
Originality depends only on the character of the drawing and the vision peculiar to each artist.
Georges Seurat
I'm pretty hard to impress, and I'm pretty exacting, in terms of what I want from my props department and art department. We spend many, many hours going over visual research and finding the right artists to create the material.
Cary Fukunaga
I believe in the energy of art, and through the use of that energy, the artist's ability to transform his or her life, and by example, the lives of others.
Audrey Flack
They've been screaming about the death of literacy for years, but I think TV is the Gutenberg printing press. I think TV is the only thing that keeps us vaguely in democracy even if it's in the hands of the corporate culture. If you're an artist you write in your time. Moaning about the fact that maybe people read more books a hundred years ago - that's not true. I think the same percentage has always read.
Sherman Alexie
I'm an artist...The difference is that I don't tell anybody. I refuse to give them new reasons to laugh at me.
Nikki Grimes
As a photographer, knowing what an artist is going to do at a certain point in a song, you can prepare for it and get that crazy Kanye “lean forward arm back and to the sky” signature move.
Jonathan Mannion
I love seeing original cartoons. You get to see the artist's corrections, like erasures or Wite-Out or patches, and you get to see the artist's line in better detail, and what kind of ink they use - whether they like a cold black or a warm black, and what kind of paper they like, how big or small they like to draw - art nerd stuff like that.
Roz Chast
I was totally involved in Bobby's World from the time we started the idea to sitting with the artists on how he would look, to the script meetings, the music, the lyrics, the songs.
Howie Mandel
Those nations of artists, finding their own individualism, and kind of standing against the world: to me that's the ultimate nightmare. I want to get lost and diffused in the world.
Robert Wyatt
The challenge for an artist is always to find your own way of doing something.
Tom Wesselmann
I wouldn't even say "Imagine" is political. I think it's…more just sort of declaration of humanity. I don't find his political songs to be the ones that I go home and listen to. And I would say that of any artist. They're not the ones that interest…
Sean Lennon
Every artist makes herself born. You must bring the artist into the world yourself.
Willa Cather
