A successful artist of any kind has to work so hard that she is justified in refusing to lay down her sceptre until she is placed on the bier.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
An artist must create. If she doesn't, she will become a menace to society.
Being an artist is in part an act of rupture.
The artist forges himself to the others, midway between the beauty he cannot do without and the community he cannot tear himself away from. That is why true artists scorn nothing: they are obliged to understand rather than to judge.
Sometimes as an artist you get wrapped up in what you are doing and you can't be objective.
The responsibility of an artist is to be honest with themselves.
To retain his dignity, an artist must live in opposition. He must be critical of his country. If not, then he is worthless.
In fact, most artists want to make things a bit more difficult for themselves as they go along, to challenge themselves.
If technique is of no interest to a writer, I doubt that the writer is an artist.
The real artist has no idea that he is sacrificing himself for art. He does what he does for one reason and one reason only-he can't help doing it.
I think carrying moral baggage is very dangerous for an artist. If you have a duty, it's to be true and not cover up the cracks.
