I understand why people went nuts for 'The Artist.' We use words so much, it's nice to be able to explore a different way of communication, to be able to express silently what someone - or something - is thinking or feeling.

It's only when an artist becomes a master that they are fully able to express themselves.

Some artists want to confront. Some want to invoke thought. They're all necessary and they're all valid.

As an artist, you want to do roles that challenge you and say something.

Any 'artist' makes a living by expressing what others can't - because they're unaware of their feelings, they're too afraid to express those feelings, or they lack the skills to communicate and be understood.

Sometimes as an artist you get wrapped up in what you are doing and you can't be objective.

When you are an artist, you want your audience to think it's effortless and easy.

Artists talk in 'art speak.'

To me, what makes an artist is a unique personality that they're not afraid to let show.

I think with anything where you delve into the back story of an artist, it kind of explains their work more intimately.
