I'm not going to restrict myself as an artist.

At the age of 80, I'm becoming a visual artist. This could be my rebirth.

Anytime you have a fellow artist say, 'Loving the new Luke Bryan album,' that's awesome.

The artist makes things concrete and gives them individuality.

The background of any artist is shaped by the first 15 years of his or her life.

All of my role models as an artist have always been women actors.

No artist wants to be perceived as a regurgitator.

I have a brother who's a schoolteacher, a sister who's a graphic artist, a brother who is a lawyer. I have a brother who's a carpenter.

I would like to be an artist who works in a very closed ambience.

I refuse to do something that's not me as an artist.

There is the intent of the writer and the interpretation by the artist. What the writer intended and what the artist interprets is not a 1-to-1 translation. It's a crossing of ideas that generates the stories that you see in print.

I've made some leaps and bounds as an underground artist.

Record companies are not unique. Artists are. Period!

I knew I wanted to be a writer at 13. Before that, I told everyone I was going to be an artist.

An artist is somebody who enters into competition with God.

I'm an artist and I can draw very well. I'm amazed that everybody can't draw well because I can do it so effortlessly.

The only logical thing I can think of is that I knew there were such things as artists, and I knew there were none where I lived. So I knew that to be an artist you had to be somewhere else. And I very much wanted to be somewhere else.

As artists, we have to be brave. If we aren't brave, we aren't artists.

Record contracts are just like - I'm gonna say the word - slavery. I would tell any young artist... don't sign.

Kanye West is my favorite artist.
