The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You know you are an artist if you appreciate beauty.
Art, whose honesty must work through artifice, cannot avoid cheating truth.
Part of being an artist is that you are always concerned you don't have what it takes. It... keeps us honest.
In art, the only one who really knows whether what you've done is honest is the artist.
You know what, if you compromise and do stuff that's not becoming to you as an artist, that's your fault.
Perhaps the mission of an artist is to interpret beauty to people - the beauty within themselves.
Being an artist, it's all a journey, and you learn where the subtle patterns lie.
If only the people around you know you're an artist, then you're doing something wrong.
I feel like I've cheated. I never knew what to do. I was never a good enough painter to earn a living, and so I drifted into the theatre, and I've had a successful life. I feel guilty that I've never done a day's work in my life!
You know, real artists, we expose our flaws. We long for intimacy.
