In music, you feel a connection to the voice and think about the person behind it. In art that's secondary.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As an artist myself, I know what it's like to put your heart and soul into something. You can feel the presence of another person.
Music embodies feeling without forcing it to contend and combine with thought, as it is forced in most arts and especially in the art of words.
I think the most important thing for an artist is to not worry about what anybody else thinks. You just have to do what comes from your heart and your being and put it out there-that's true in any of the arts.
A verbal art like poetry is reflective; it stops to think. Music is immediate, it goes on to become.
There's something in music that fascinates me - how it communicates emotion so immediately. That's something I wanted in my paintings.
Music is an emotional experience, and that is what imprints itself on the soul. And I think for me, any great art is art which communicates human emotion.
That's the thing about great artists: They find the thing that's most obvious to themselves, what's most conscious and natural, and they put it out there and the audience comes.
As an artist, you have to maintain focus and eliminate the distraction of second-guessing yourself based on the opinions of others.
Music tells you about the artist and what they were thinking about at the time, because the person has to think about it to sing it.
In music one must think with the heart and feel with the brain.
