Great artists are like loaded guns. They are dangerous in anybody's hands.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Great artists are the ones who have put their entire selves out there to be adored, humiliated, to be picked at, cherished, all of those things, and haven't shied away from that.
Because artists can be extremely eccentric and insane, and unfortunately, the people they hurt the most are the people that are closest to them.
Great artists suffer for the people.
Everybody is bound by some social rules. But I think that artists need some kind of freedom to explore their minds and that some of them tend to take that freedom to live a little more openly or a little more dangerously, sometimes a lot more self-destructively, than other people.
So many artists try to be something that they're not.
Once artists are expected to shock, it's that much harder for them to do so.
The artists I look up to are the ones who push their own limits.
I don't use the word 'artists' lightly.
In a way, I envy the freedom artists have. Artists can push themselves beyond their limits, in pursuit of their ideas and their vision, even if they are inhabited by demons that can also play tricks on them.
Artists are like everybody else.
