It's hard to come across someone who can look past an artist who is larger and just see them for the talent they are and have them be willing to invest what's necessary to make them a star.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I believe artists deserve all the help they can get, so they can focus on being great artists.
Many young artists, they look at the art world and think they can make a lot of money.
I think that fame only goes to your head if you are not a real artist. If you are a real artist and a good person who loves what they are doing, you are going to be the same person.
I think most artists would be happy to have bigger audiences rather than smaller ones. It doesn't mean that they are going to change their work in order necessarily to get it, but they're happy if they do get it.
Nowadays you need so much money to be able to launch a new artist, notably in America; you would hardly believe the sums involved.
There's a difference between a pop star and an artist. Pop stars have to be perfect all the time; an artist is allowed, on occasion, to suck. And I put myself in that category because I sometimes suck. I'm not trying to please the masses. It's not going to happen, so I don't try.
Artists are very young, and say, Um, ok, to these industry dudes.
I think that most people who are just artists, who are getting famous, would trade a lot of their fame back for some normalcy, pretty much immediately.
All artists are people of growth. It's like food, you take the good and leave the rest.
We showed the industry that female artists could attract the same audiences as the big male stars.
