James Brown was one of the first artists who found four bars that he liked and played them the entire way through, and then he just added to it vocally.
Brian Austin Green

When I began competing with the other artists in New York, I discovered classical North Indian music.
Henry Flynt

Racial history is therefore natural history and the mysticism of the soul at one and the same time; but the history of the religion of the blood, conversely, is the great world story of the rise and downfall of peoples, their heroes and thinkers, their inventors and artists.
Alfred Rosenberg

A free culture is not a culture without property; it is not a culture in which artists don't get paid.
Lawrence Lessig

If it's stage, the two most important artists are the actor and the playwright. If it's film, THE most important person is the director. The director says where the camera goes.
Brad Dourif

I think probably, the makeup artists don't really know how long it's going to take until they really work with your face and they kind of mold it and build it as they're going along.
Andrea Martin

The deals that were made for Black artists at that time were not the deals that were made for white artists.
Solomon Burke

The Constitution wanted artists to have control over their works because they knew it would create incentive to create more works. That is clearly still the goal.
Hilary Rosen

I wasn't thinking of competing with any artists as such, I was more thinking of being among them, and sharing thoughts with them; like sharing views, ideas, etc.
Dennis Brown

It was my mom and I against the world. We lived in New York in this bohemian lifestyle where an extended group of artists and photographers were like my aunts and uncles.
Brooke Shields

It's not about battling the original artists when I record these songs, it's about paying tribute to them.
Etta James

That's my favorite subject because it really levels the playing field for artists these days. You don't have to sell out to the record company. You don't have to get a five hundred thousand dollars, or whatever, and pay them back for the rest of your life to record a record.
Roger Mcguinn

Well, I worked with lots of different artists, of course.
Skitch Henderson

But in the old days, visual artists used to fall into two distinct categories: those of us who created images with cameras and those of us who applied stuff onto other stuff, with brushes or other tools.
Buffy Sainte-Marie

People might say I'm difficult, but did you ever hear anyone describe a label as 'difficult'? By nature, artists should challenge. When they call you difficult, it is a reflection of the imbalance of power.
Michelle Shocked

Well, I think there are artists who are more or less contemporary with Hopper who are more relevant.
Donald Judd

I was working as an art and tech researcher in '84. At that time there had been a small government program of assistance for artists for at least three or four years. I was working with Super 8 film then. And video in '85 and public radio in the early '80s.
Francesca da Rimini

All artists get better with age. The more you draw, the better you're going to get.
John Kricfalusi

Alan is a great guy, a terrific guy. We haven't worked together since then, and he's always working with different artists. I think he sees different dimensions he can see from different guys.
David Lloyd

We could ask artists from abroad to come in too, so that there could be a mixing and matching of skills from Europe, America and here which would widen our world.
