The artist's job is to be a witness to his time in history.
Robert Rauschenberg
I left Jamaica for a while, because as an artist I need to experience different things, see the world, have different energies. Living in one place is not good for me.
Ziggy Marley
The more I grow as an artist, the more I think I become like my father as an artist. The more I diversify, the more I become like my father, which is true to who he was.
Ziggy Marley
To say that an artist sells out means that an artist is making a conscious choice to compromise his music, to to weaken his music for the sake of commercial gain.
Ken Burns
People were more interested in the phenomena than the art itself. This, combined with the growing interest in collecting art as an investment and the resultant boom in the art market, made it a difficult time for a young artist to remain sincere without becoming cynical.
Keith Haring
A scientist worthy of his name, about all a mathematician, experiences in his work the same impression as an artist; his pleasure is as great and of the same nature.
Henri Poincare
The great artist is a slave to his ideals.
Christian Nestell Bovee
I'm just an artist and I'm doin' what I like to do.
Mos Def
An artist may have burdens the ordinary citizen doesn't know, but the ordinary citizen has burdens that many artists never even touch.
Patti Smith
Let's just say that I think any person who aspires, presumes, or feels the calling to be an artist has a built-in sense of duty.
Patti Smith
I was listening to Jimi Hendrix; I just admire his artistry and creativity as an artist.
LL Cool J
My mother was a housewife but she was also an artist. My father was an electrical engineer.
James Cameron
An artist is somebody who enters into competition with God.
Patti Smith
To be an artist you have to give up everything, including the desire to be a good artist.
Jasper Johns
As an artist you have to have a certain amount of arrogance.
Kim Weston
No, my work does not reflect my sexual preferences, it reflects the fact that I feel total freedom as an artist.
Patti Smith
Besides me wanting to be an artist, I wanted to be a movie star.
Patti Smith
As an artist I come to sing, but as a citizen, I will always speak for peace, and no one can silence me in this.
Paul Robeson
An artist is forced by others to paint out of his own free will.
Willem de Kooning
I've been called many names like perfectionist, difficult and obsessive. I think it takes obsession, takes searching for the details for any artist to be good.
Barbra Streisand
