Any artist that's involved in their work is inevitably going to have a focus in what they do.

So many artists try to be something that they're not.

I don't use the word 'artists' lightly.

A lot of artists are much more concerned about how their work is used and how it's disseminated. That, to artists, is as important as the money, for some people.

I think the job of artists is to stir things up.

If technique is of no interest to a writer, I doubt that the writer is an artist.

You know, for a long time I have been of the opinion that artists don't necessarily know what they're doing. You don't necessarily know what kind of universal concept you're tapping into.

Artists are like everybody else.

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.

Some artists are nervous - most of them are, to tell you the truth, and they have different ways of exhibiting that. Some of them are boisterous, some are really quiet.
