True Artist Quotes (page 3)

No man, said the Nolan, can be a lover of the true or the good unless he abhors the multitude; and the artist, though he may employ the crowd, is very careful to isolate himself. James Joyce
She is a famous artists' model who claims to have been christened Topaz - even if this is true there is no law to make a woman stick to a name like that. Dodie Smith
There's a point at which when I start to know a man well--this isn't true of women--I wonder whether there's something in him that's evil. Something that's pure and can't be touched. This quality of evil may be related to the quality of artistry, for an artist has the same characteristics. Kathy Acker
Clutter and mess show us that life is being lived...Tidiness makes me think of held breath, of suspended animation...

I'm quite sure that all true professional artists, of every description, in all walks of life, whether their craft is painting, music, sculpture, medicine or anything, have one primary concern - mankind. Chico Hamilton
I'm very happy with my lot. I like the variety I get. You don't want to spend your life repeating yourself. It's true of any kind of artist, you want to explore as wide and far as you can go, so that's what I've been trying to do. Toni Collette
I really don't have a theme when I start a sculpture. The rock guides me to the final sculpture. I think that is true for many creative sculpture artists. Jimmy Carl Black
If he's a true symphony artist, he knows better than that because he knows that the only truly creative musician is the jazz musician. Buddy Rich
I'm the artist formally known as Beck. I have a genius wig. When I put that wig on, then the true genius emerges. I don't have enough hair to be a genius. I think you have to have hair going everywhere. Beck
