Quotes with artists

  • There are thousands of very, very talented artists who will never be known, even after they are dead.
  • Folk-punk artists like This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb or Paul Baribeau were popular in the Florida punk community. I saw people early on combine roots music with more aggressive music.
  • The artists who the world has always recognized as the greatest are those with the widest sympathy. The greatness of the great artist depends precisely on the width and the intensity of his sympathy.
  • In a way, I envy the freedom artists have. Artists can push themselves beyond their limits, in pursuit of their ideas and their vision, even if they are inhabited by demons that can also play tricks on them.
  • It is no coincidence that while some major female artists have married, very few have borne children. The issue is not conservation of energy but imaginative integrity. Art is its own self-swelling, proof that the mind is greater than the body.
  • Not to take anything away from artists who don't write their own songs, but it's always been important to me to make sure it's my story.
  • The artist is something of an outsider in America. I have always felt that America does not value its artists, certainly not in the sense that the Europeans do.
  • Whatever an artist's personal feelings are, as soon as an artist fills a certain area on the canvas or circumscribes it, he becomes historical. He acts from or upon other artists.
  • There have always been female artists and singers putting bands together all the time. But we were not always getting credit for that because we didn't know any better.
  • Creativity is not the property of artists alone. It's a basic element of the human character, no matter what culture you're in, no matter where you are on Earth or in history.
