You must speak the vision of your project in a way that convinces people to pay for it. If they won't pay for it, that is the artist's fault. It is my fault. It is your fault. It is not the executive's fault or the world's.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
An artist is his own fault.
Artists need support, time and money to develop their ideas, and if people rip stuff off, you don't have to be that brilliant to figure out that you're ultimately going to affect the end product.
An artist is not paid for his labor but for his vision.
I think an artist's responsibility is more complex than people realize.
I believe that artists should be paid for their creativity. There's no other industry where people can come in and take what you create for free and give it away for free and that's acceptable.
You know what, if you compromise and do stuff that's not becoming to you as an artist, that's your fault.
An artist cannot be responsible for what people make of their art. An audience loathe giving up preconceived images of an artist.
As an artist, you need to be not at all entitled in your relation with the work. So money is kind of worrying. You can start to expect things if you're used to a certain level of comfort.
Our responsibility as artists is to challenge ourselves.
The artist is not responsible to any one. His social role is asocial... his only responsibility consists in an attitude to the work he does.
