Because artists can be extremely eccentric and insane, and unfortunately, the people they hurt the most are the people that are closest to them.

We don't know why we should be artists, but we have many reasons why we can't be.

Everybody is bound by some social rules. But I think that artists need some kind of freedom to explore their minds and that some of them tend to take that freedom to live a little more openly or a little more dangerously, sometimes a lot more self-destructively, than other people.

You see so many artists who are so talented end up living sad, empty lives. This industry takes so much out of you that without the accountability and leaving God in the center, you can be left so empty and void.

Artists can do whatever they want!

I believe artists deserve all the help they can get, so they can focus on being great artists.

Women artists are still treated differently from men.

I guess what all artists want is for their work to touch someone or for it to be thought provoking.

All artists are egotistical maniacs with inferiority complexes.

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.
