I don't need the money, dear. I work for art.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
You can spend your money on art works and sit down and look at them. Or you can use your money to help people.
I don't pay attention to auction prices. Nothing interests me less. One of the benefits of not being an artist is I don't have to navigate the social hierarchies of the art world as a person of desire. I don't need anything. I live in a different way.
Art for art's sake, money for God's sake.
I love making money, but you can't live your life waiting to get rich in a job that no longer feeds you artistically.
You don't make any money being an artist. Writing and producing? You get your money from that. You live comfortable.
There is an incredible love in creating art unless somebody is saying, 'Hey, let's just make money,' because it doesn't work when you do it that way. If you are aiming for that, forget it.
I don't need the money I generate from photography to support myself.
I make money, and I don't need money.
I'm not such an artist type that I can't handle the real world. I read the financial pages, because most people don't talk about art.
