The difference between a bad artist and a good one is: the bad artist seems to copy a great deal; the good one really does.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Being an artist doesn't mean that you're a good artist. That was the bargain I first made with myself: I'd say, I'm an artist, but I'm not really very good.
I think good art does come from a dark place.
Never read bad stuff if you're an artist; it will impair your own game.
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.
Bad people are, from the point of view of art, fascinating studies. They represent colour, variety and strangeness. Good people exasperate one's reason; bad people stir one's imagination.
The writer knows his own worth, and to be overvalued can confuse and destroy him as an artist.
I cannot tell good art from bad art. I have no eye for it.
Only a bad artist thinks he has a good idea. A good artist does not need anything.
Good artists copy, great artists steal.
The bad gains respect through imitation, the good loses it especially in art.
