Paul is a very creative artist but I’m more that thorough, meticulous, disciplined nut. – Art Garfunkel

I like Jaykae. He’s a great artist, and I absolutely love Dr. Dre’s album and a bit of Calvin Harris now and then. – Adam Peaty
Now almost every artist outside of New York is connected with some school or some museum school, and even in New York the majority are. That’s an interesting fact when you take the idea of making money, making a living selling paintings. Only a dozen or two painters do that. – Ad Reinhardt
I’m a liability to them – I’m a woman, I’m empowered, I’m an artist. I’ve had executives who can’t come to my shows they’re so scared of me. I’ve been a thorn in many people’s sides just by existing. – Alanis Morissette
To me, what makes an artist is a unique personality that they’re not afraid to let show. – Blake Shelton
No one can make the album they made 10 years ago with a straight face. There are two reasons: one is you change as a person. To be a true artist, I have to be true to who I am now and write that way. And the second thing is these are different times. – Brad Paisley
For me, the heyday was in 1959. It was before the Ferus Gallery moved across the street, in the days when Ed Kienholz and Walter Hopps ran it. At that time, art was taken very seriously in terms of being an artist, and not as a profession. – Billy Al Bengston
As an artist, you’re taking your experiences and placing them into your art. So the more experiences you have, the richer your art and more people can relate to it. – Anderson Paak
I know a lot of people who are not here anymore, and I wonder why I’m still here… Not a day goes by that I don’t think about Sam Cooke. His presence is so strong and so convincing to me, a true artist, a true talent, who never talked down to people. – Bobby Womack

Being a talented artist is good, it’s nice, but it’s not the most important thing. I think being a good storyteller, having a good idea, a good gag, is probably more important than being a great artist. – Bill Plympton
Whatever the download thing has done to the game, you as an artist can get yourself out there to the masses, off your own back. – Ashley Thomas
The trouble with being a ghostwriter or artist is that you must remain rather anonymously without credit. If one wants the credit, one has to cease being a ghost and become a leader or innovator. – Bob Kane

One of the most gratifying things I get as an artist is when people watch me do these different demonstrations, and they in some way feel empowered by what I’m doing so they can confront their own fears. Maybe it’s the fear of getting in an elevator; maybe it’s the fear of going on a plane and seeing the world. – Criss Angel
I felt that, in retrospect, there was a time in the late Seventies, after I had a string of hits and successes, as a performer and a recording artist, that I wasn’t saying anything. – Boz Scaggs
