I'm not that kind of publicity, attention-grabber type of artist.
Any musician who can stop may be a musician, but they're no artist. If it's in your blood, it can't stop flowing.
I'm an artist, and the need to get inside myself and be creative and be other people is a part of who I am. I don't imagine I'll abandon that completely.
I would hate to be a new artist or writer in town today. But somehow the cream continues to rise. If there's one who's great, he just jumps out of the pack like you can't believe.
I wanna grow and develop as an artist, and I feel like different kinds of collaborations can only help me in that way.
I wanted nothing less than to be a fiction writer when I was a kid. If you had told me I would be an artist or novelist when I grew up, I would have laughed in your face.
I get paid all day, every day, which is almost too much for a sensitive artist.
People still look at Michael Jackson as being a Motown artist.
That's the motivation of an artist - to seek attention of some kind.

A primitive artist is an amateur whose work sells.
Thinking it over, I can't locate another artist in the Updike family.
Now almost every artist outside of New York is connected with some school or some museum school, and even in New York the majority are. That's an interesting fact when you take the idea of making money, making a living selling paintings. Only a dozen or two painters do that.
Every other artist begins with a blank canvas, a piece of paper the photographer begins with the finished product.
One of the things that makes Wittgenstein a real artist to me is that he realized that no conclusion could be more horrible than solipsism.
I understood the craft of photography when done by an artist is art.
I've always been a cabaret-vaudeville artist - an hourlong cabaret and a floor show in a hotel - somebody like that. That's my main forte.
The partnership over the 28 years we had the company afforded him the opportunity to experiment and live his life as an artist and a label honcho and do what he wanted to do. It afforded me the same opportunity.
When you give an artist a canvas, you shouldn't tell him exactly how much paint to put on it, or exactly how sharp the images should be. You should let the artist get going.
An artist may have burdens the ordinary citizen doesn't know, but the ordinary citizen has burdens that many artists never even touch.
Pain is such an important thing in life. I think that as an artist you have to experience suffering.

I mean, I don't think I would call Claus to do an album of big band tunes. You know, just like arrangers write for the artist they have in mind; you have to keep in mind if you're going to work with Claus Ogerman. You invite him to do what he does.
I'm not a manufactured artist. Nobody taught me how to be a proper artist.

My being bought as a politically outspoken artist is a more potent advertising tool for Apple than a 100 more explicit ads.

As an artist, I want a reaction.
I went to a public school in Oak Harbor, Ohio, and it's a very rural community. I was an artist kid, and I just didn't fit in very well.
I think with anything where you delve into the back story of an artist, it kind of explains their work more intimately.
My business partner and make-up artist Kim Jacob and I have employed every member of staff, decided where every desk in the office should go, tried every product on our faces.
Artists have really never had any representation on Capitol Hill, because it's not the nature of the artist to join together and make a unified presence. Those days kind of died in the '60s.
