I believe people may have a predisposition for artistic creativity. It doesn't mean they're going to make it.

So much of artistic creation is just exclusion. It's not creating things; it's just excluding things that really aren't going to be helpful.

An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.

As a producer, you're pretty much creating a body of work that an artist has to stand behind.

It's true that there are people who live the idea of being an artist, as opposed to the idea of making art.

Originality depends only on the character of the drawing and the vision peculiar to each artist.

There is actually no such thing as an Artist type. 'Artist' is just an economic designation, a box you tick on a form. We are all people, and we are all creative.

Making art is different for everyone.

I make pictures and someone comes in and calls it art.

Any system that sees aesthetics as irrelevant, that separates the artist from his product, that fragments the work of the individual, or creates by committee, or makes mincemeat of the creative process will, in the long run, diminish not only the product but the maker as well.
