One of the few things that will remain of this time is what artists are doing. They are the journal and the diary of our time.
The first time with artistic endeavors is, if it's working, it was your idea, and if it's not, it's somebody else's idea.
Terry: The old man's still an artist with a Thompson.
As an artist, you are aware there is this strange money market out there, but you have no sense of how it works.
An artist, under pain of oblivion, must have confidence in himself, and listen only to his real master: Nature.
Frost is the greatest artist in our clime - he paints in nature and describes in rime.
What marks the artist is his power to shape the material of pain we all have.
Producers don't really have any authority because you are paid by the artist, and if they choose to ignore you, they can. Your power only hangs by the tiniest thread. If you pull it too hard it will snap.
I believe the artist has an obligation to society.
I love theater. To have the people onstage right there, to be working in concert with other artists, this is a like a school of fish moving together.
I don't know, the artist thing is not me. I love making music, though.
I love to work with artists that were able to find a brand new name and create something really exciting and fresh.
I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.
Out of all the artistic things I do, music is the most rewarding because it's so hard to write songs.
I see myself as a hip-hop artist, but I never wanted to make music for a specifically white audience. That's not what I grew up around.
When I began competing with the other artists in New York, I discovered classical North Indian music.
Unauthorized use of these MP3 files is really creating a problem for artists in the music community.
My idea is that artists should make their music available for free, and fans should only pay for it if they really like it.
I'm writing a record of comedy songs. I'm doing all these collaborations with artists. I bring them lyrics and they write the music to it.
I would like to be known as an 'artist'. Whether that be music, acting, sketching, cooking, whatever. I'm interested in all of those things.
I think it's important, if you are an artist, to use your music to stand up for what you believe in.
