I think artists are driven by the engine of their own talent, but it's a question of what use they put it to.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
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.
Artists are the people that no matter what, pick up the pen, pick up a paintbrush. They take the time to translate what is happening to create something that resonates deeply with the rest of the people that are caught in the middle of their own reality.
Artists change how we see the world - and that can have value in the way people do business.
Most artists don't understand what they do, and I don't think we have to. Other people do that better - they understand what I do better than I do!
I think the definition of an artist is not necessarily tied into excellence or talent; an artist is somebody who, if you took away their freedom to make art, would lose their mind.
Artists themselves are not confined, but their output is.
There's a power in what we hold as artists, and part of that comes with responsibility... to share the human experience and really allow that to be seen.
Artists can do whatever they want!
All artists are people of growth. It's like food, you take the good and leave the rest.
