I really fell for Marilyn Manson. I thought how awful it was that an artist like him could be blamed for something - someone who brings so much to the world and, if anything, probably comforts kids who are in pain by saying, "You're not alone."
It was really cool to get to know her as a person and artist. And getting to act with her after a year of knowing her and be like, "Oh my god! There's a whole 'nother thing here!" It was really cool to be her friend and then see Ellen Page on the set.
The Internet has been a great outlet for storytelling. After all, there are web-based shows that have started online and have then gotten picked up. I think it's a great opportunity for artists to get through the network roadblock. It just allows us another venue to be creative in.
The artist is always concerned with a total view of the world. However, when the photographer takes a picture ... the edge of his picture is just as interesting as the middle, one can only guess at the existence of a whole, and the view presented seems chosen by chance.
In abandoning the vagueness of the sketch the artist shows more of his personality by revealing the range but also the limitations of his talent.
I don't care who's playing. Even if it's my favorite artist, I'm probably not gonna go and see him.
My goal is to tell good stories. And to try as best I can to do something new with acting. To learn from the past and to be a relevant artist. To make stories that are interesting and contemporary and to tell some kind of emotional truth.
The amazing thing about an artistic collaboration is that it is as intense and intimate as a romantic one. Sometimes even more so.
Artists aren't looking for you to write them something; they're looking for you to give them something new.
I'm not looking to be an artist to make money. I'm looking to be an artist.
I taught for 17 years in an inner city comprehensive schools.
I find that there are few reviews that extol women as wonderful artists.
If I did a Rock record, it would be equally as truthful because I love Rock. I had to actually sing to Bon Jovi one time and I felt like he believed me. He's one of my favorite artists, so there's nothing better than the truth.
I started my entire journey as an indie artist. Ownership has its benefits and it's just about putting in the work. I'm just working.
I just want to continue adding walls to my craft as an artist and business man. I never want to cap off, I never want to seal it. I just want to keep adding walls and keep on going as high as it can go, but I'm never gonna be boxed in, can't. That's when you lose because when you box yourself in, you know you get comfortable, you start getting complacent. I can't be like that.
When an artist works today or whenever, it's not about creating immortal masterpieces, because that's the one thing we don't decide ourselves.
I feel that this is my artistic home, and I'm very happy to be a California artist together with many others who are not from here originally but who decided to make this the center of their activities. There's something about that that I find very inspiring and satisfying.
I knew it would happen. I knew I'd be No. 1. I'm a new artist; I don't know the rules. Nobody told me it wouldn't happen
All of my children are the same way I am. They're little artists too, in their own ways.
I think what makes people think that is because of things people write. It really doesn't have anything to do with the artist.
I'm a performance artist first; I'm a recording artist second.
There are artists who are very well known and many of us feel they should be less well known, while there are others who aren't well known and many feel deserve more attention.
It's really hard to know why certain artists become famous and others don't.
Through photography, both artist and scientist can find a common denominator in their search for the synthesis of modern vision in time, space and structure.
The artist must express the summation of his feeling, knowing and believing through the unity of his life and work.
