I find it really cool when people have this artist persona they can put on. They can go out and act like this other person; I can't pull that off... I can't censor myself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To me, what makes an artist is a unique personality that they're not afraid to let show.
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.
All my artist buddies make fun of me for being such a sensitive human being.
I have a lot of respect for all the artists I get compared to, even if, as an artist, you prefer to have your own identity.
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.
For the life of me, I'll never understand how you can be an artist but not want people to understand who you are as a person.
I passionately hate the idea of being with it; I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.
You get the feeling that on a lot of days the audience for most music would kind of rather not be faced with the artist, especially because we've been educated to think that the artist are these special creatures are otherwordly and aren't like us.
Artists don't really want to be marginalized. They believe that everybody should be able to appreciate the experience that an artist gives them, an experience that connects us to each other in a deep way.
I think people are intolerant of artists.
