I think they want to keep it separate, but I've never been a crossover artist for some reason.
Reba McEntire

I am not an angel and do not pretend to be. That is not one of my roles. But I am not the devil either. I am a woman and a serious artist, and I would like so to be judged.
Maria Callas

You are born an artist or you are not. And you stay an artist, dear, even if your voice is less of a fireworks. The artist is always there.
Maria Callas

I think another thing is that we don't really want exclusivity. We accept that it is in the artist's interest to be on sale in every place where they sell music.
Peter Gabriel

One thing that really appeals to me is this idea of music being a living thing that has an evolution that, in a way, enables the artist to sell a process rather than a piece of product.
Peter Gabriel

Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.
Andre Gide

Art is the collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.
Andre Gide

As an artist, you dream about accumulating enough successful music to someday do just one greatest-hits album, but to reach the point where you're releasing your second collection of hits is beyond belief.
Gloria Estefan

Every production of an artist should be the expression of an adventure of his soul.
W. Somerset Maugham

The artist produces for the liberation of his soul. It is his nature to create as it is the nature of water to run down the hill.
W. Somerset Maugham

If we are to change our world view, images have to change. The artist now has a very important job to do. He's not a little peripheral figure entertaining rich people, he's really needed.
Vaclav Havel

I am not a black artist, I am an artist.
Jean-Michel Basquiat

To note an artist's limitations is but to define his talent. A reporter can write equally well about everything that is presented to his view, but a creative writer can do his best only with what lies within the range and character of his deepest sympathies.
Willa Cather

Every artist makes himself born. It is very much harder than the other time, and longer.
Willa Cather

The artist's job is to be a witness to his time in history.
Robert Rauschenberg

The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is.
Willa Cather

I don't think any one person, whether artist or not, has been given permission by anyone to put the responsibility of the way things are on anyone else.
Robert Rauschenberg

Whoever wants to know something about me - as an artist which alone is significant - they should look attentively at my pictures and there seek to recognise what I am and what I want.
Gustav Klimt

A primitive artist is an amateur whose work sells.
Grandma Moses

With the song 'This Christmas' I wanted to do something that was kind of different. I mean, Donny Hathaway is an amazing artist. So I wanted to bring my flavor to the song so when people over the age of 45 or 50 hear it they'll be like 'OK, he did his thing with that record.' It's like I can appeal to everybody and not just a younger demographic.
Chris Brown
