When you are an artist, you want your audience to think it's effortless and easy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You don't know how much artists go through to make it look so easy. It's all in the practice.
As artists, it's tempting to forget the audience's needs. Too often, we're self-centered and self-indulgent in what we share with the world. We're prideful, only showing what we deem as perfect or what we think our peers will respect.
Sometimes as an artist you get wrapped up in what you are doing and you can't be objective.
The most difficult thing in the world is to reveal yourself, to express what you have to. As an artist, I feel that we must try many things - but above all we must dare to fail. You must be willing to risk everything to really express it all.
Part of being an artist is that you are always concerned you don't have what it takes. It... keeps us honest.
Part of your job as an artist is to push yourself and make sure your creative juices are flowing.
Being an artist is not easy - I have always said that to the students I have taught over the years. It's a huge sacrifice.
I feel like every artist has an opportunity to create something new and to challenge themselves to reach out to a new crowd.
As an artist, you have to work really, really hard because you gotta make something that will allow people to even take the chance to even listen to it, you know?
In fact, most artists want to make things a bit more difficult for themselves as they go along, to challenge themselves.
