I am, as they say, the classic starving artist.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Somehow, the French got this idea of the starving artist. Very romantic, except it's not so romantic for the starving artist.
I'm more hungry now than I was 11 years ago. Which is great because I see a lot of artists that have been out for a long period of time. They get kind of fat.
I'm an artist at heart.
We eat up artists like there's going to be a famine at the end.
I'm a multi-platinum recording artist; my passion is food.
I love 'Babette's Feast' because of the message in it - an artist will never be poor, and you can melt the coldest heart with love and passion.
I feed on art more than I ever do on photographs. I can admire photography, but I wouldn't go to it out of hunger.
Is an artist much more than a beggar?
I didn't really go the starving-artist route. I kind of went and did massive, commercial things.
I'm an entrepreneur, a businessman. I've got a lot of money, and that doesn't go very well with the whole 'starving artist in a garret' routine.
