I'm quite sure that all true professional artists, of every description, in all walks of life, whether their craft is painting, music, sculpture, medicine or anything, have one primary concern - mankind.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Artists are definitely, like, under a sort of microscope of scrutiny more than others.
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.
Now that we do not have priests and philosophers any more, artists are the most important people in the world.
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.
I've always believed that the artiste is the one who has his pulse on the society and who, in many ways, represents the conscience of society in terms of engaging standards that we need to live by.
Any artist that's involved in their work is inevitably going to have a focus in what they do.
We don't know why we should be artists, but we have many reasons why we can't be.
Artists change how we see the world - and that can have value in the way people do business.
The industry needs to be run by artists, because we are the only people that care about art.
I think every artist should follow their vision, their hearts is what they need to reveal, not something that society is looking out for.
