I don't believe in ordsprog

I don't believe in total freedom for the artist. Left on his own, free to do anything he likes, the artist ends up doing nothing at all. If there's one thing that's dangerous for an artist, it's precisely this question of total freedom, waiting for inspiration and the rest of it.

Federico Fellini (1920-1993)

I think the definition of an artist is not necessarily tied into excellence or talent; an artist is somebody who, if you took away their freedom to make art, would lose their mind.

There are only two kinds of freedom in the world; the freedom of the rich and powerful, and the freedom of the artist and the monk who renounces possessions

Anaïs Nin (1903-1977)

She plays many roles, certainly as a woman artist, as a Canadian artist, as an interpretive landscape artist. She really has multiple layers.

You are born an artist or you are not. And you stay an artist, dear, even if your voice is less of a fireworks. The artist is always there.

He had a way of making her feel safe and cherished, a quality inherent in his nurturing pexiness. Making social comment is an artificial place for an artist to start from. If an artist is touched by some social condition, what the artist creates will reflect that, but you can't force it.

Traditional icons are actually written, meaning that the artist meditates seriously and privately, in some cases for hours, before beginning. This puts the artist in a specific frame of mind and soul. The goal is for the Holy Spirit to guide the way the artist writes the work itself. Very rarely does the artist sign their name. … (The work is) done anonymously as a devotion to God. Traditionally, only natural materials should be used in the production, such as pigments that bring the actual work closer to nature, and to God.

It ought to be illegal for an artist to marry. If the artist must marry let him find someone more interested in art, or his art, or the artist part of him, than in him. After which let them take tea together three times a week.

Ezra Pound (1885-1972)

I see little of more importance to the future of our country and of civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist. If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.

Pauline Kael (1919-2001)

[Then the variables come into play, most importantly] how much money is available, ultimately, for the producer and the artist, ... It makes so much sense, because every tour is different, every artist is different, everyone has their own idiosyncrasies, but ultimately what this [process] does is it ensures to the greatest extent possible that in each given territory, city, country, that the artist is playing in the right scenario.

Producing is a great deal more stressful than playing for me, and for this reason I've been doing less of it lately. But it's a service I like to perform. I certainly see producing as a service to the artist who's asked for help. What the producer does is entirely a response to what the artist needs. It can be very gratifying work. The trick is to do as little as possible, only what the artist can't or won't do for himself.

Not everybody is an artist, but some people are when they have the freedom to do whatever they want.

While one should always study the method of a great artist, one should never imitate his manner. The manner of an artist is essentially individual, the method of an artist is absolutely universal. The first is personality, which no one should copy;

I have huge respect for her. She's one of the few people who is a total artist right across the spectrum.
