The artist is the medium between his fantasies and the rest of the world.
Federico Fellini

I always knew that I wanted to be an artist.
Maynard James Keenan

Artists have really never had any representation on Capitol Hill, because it's not the nature of the artist to join together and make a unified presence. Those days kind of died in the '60s.

Franz Liszt

Sorrowful and great is the artist's destiny.

Bruce Lee was an artist and, like him, I try to go beyond the fundamentals of my sport. I want the public to see a knockout in the making.
Sugar Ray Leonard

I was always making things. Even though art was what I did every day, it didn't even occur to me that I would be an artist.

Faith Hill

I am just an artist.
Andres Serrano

An artist has every right - one may even say a duty - to exhibit his productions as prominently as he can.
Jacques Barzun
