To me I think artists in general make a statement - and for the rest of their lives - every album, every book - are variations on a theme.
Mark Mothersbaugh

I always make this joke that I know you were expecting to see the big skirts and the hoops. But that was a long time ago. Artists aren't always seen as real people. If you start out as a teenager, sometimes people want to keep you locked as that. But I'm a woman now.
Jody Watley

The British are so funny. It's like they can't believe I lived in Hackney. 'You could live in Bondi Beach. Why would you want to live in 'Ackney?' But Hackney's fantastic. I'm serious. There are so many artists there. I loved the markets, the parks, the pubs, the diversity. It was a cultural melting-pot.
Rose Byrne

I have a private press. I'm a book artist. I publish books of other authors and artists. I do the illustrating. I set the type. I print it myself on my press. I do everything but bind it.
Gloria Stuart

My function at Verve was that of a genuine producer in artists and repertoire.
Norman Granz

There are different kinds of artists and very often, I'll be very frank with you, I wish I were a different kind.
Wole Soyinka

When you actually meet the devil and he offers you a deal most artists eventually negotiate.
Marc Maron

A collection makes its own demands. Many artists have been collectors. I think of it rather as an illness. I felt it was using up too much energy.
Howard Hodgkin

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

I find that there are few reviews that extol women as wonderful artists.
Estelle Parsons

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

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

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 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

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.
