Think it's so unfair when people think that you're not a "real artist" unless you're getting paid for it ... I personally know so many poets that work a 9 to 5 in a cubicle and come home and write poetry. Their poetry is just as powerful and moving as anything that I've ever written, if not more. ~ Sarah Kay
Real Artist quotes by Sarah Kay
If the person or artist doesn't touch it, and if the camera stays relatively far away from it, it doesn't really have to be real. ~ James Pearse Connelly
Real Artist quotes by James Pearse Connelly
The writer, indeed every real artist, was the devil, rivalling God in creativity, trying even to surpass him. God was surely man's most fatal creation, the devil's kitsch bitch. It was God, with his insistence on being worshipped and admired, who made the argument of art necessary, keeping the fire of dissent alive in men and women. This dissident was the artist, who spanned with his imagination reason and unreason, the under and the over, the dream and the world, men and women. ~ Hanif Kureishi
Real Artist quotes by Hanif Kureishi
Even Michelangelo got paid for doing the Sistine Chapel. To those artists who say they're doing it for the love of art, I say: Get real. ~ Gianni Versace
Real Artist quotes by Gianni Versace
I've never been that person to fake it, and say what everyone else wants you to say. Then you never have anything personal. If I wanted to be an actress all the time, I could do that. But I don't. I want to be real. I want to be a real person. That's what an artist is. An artist has to be honest. Without honesty, there's nothing. ~ Miley Cyrus
Real Artist quotes by Miley Cyrus
So few hip-hop artists have ever advanced. Their songs on their seventh, eighth albums sound exactly like the songs on their first album. More than an artist, I'm a real person-and real people grow. And I wanna just sing my growth. ~ Kanye West
Real Artist quotes by Kanye West
He who is discouraged after a failure is not a real artist. ~ Auguste Rodin
Real Artist quotes by Auguste Rodin
I would say that for the younger musicians, technical proficiency is necessary and a given these days. But the study and the way you function in society, your beliefs and the way you live, that is where you will find a real musician, a real artist. ~ David Finckel
Real Artist quotes by David Finckel
Real artists find answers. The knowledge of the artisan is within the confines of his skills. For example, I know a lot about lenses, about the editing room. I know what the different buttons on the camera are for. I know more or less how to use a microphone. I know all that, but that's not real knowledge. Real knowledge is knowing how to live, why we live, things like that. ~ Krzysztof Kieslowski
Real Artist quotes by Krzysztof Kieslowski
Blake Lively is my style icon, and she always has rocking clothes and shoes. She keeps it really simple with hair and makeup, and I try to do the same thing. Onstage, I do a little smokier, a little more contouring, but I still always want to be an approachable and real artist, so I never try to go overboard. ~ Kelsea Ballerini
Real Artist quotes by Kelsea Ballerini
You can't really judge an actor's abilities by their career, because the business is going to pigeonhole people into whatever turns a profit, and no artist is less in charge of how their work is presented than an actor, the appeal of Vince was that within a great naturalism, he can convey fierce intelligence, complex emotion, and a real warmth married to a real edge, strength and vulnerability and danger and humor. There are essential contradictions at work that makes him fascinating to watch. ~ Nic Pizzolatto
Real Artist quotes by Nic Pizzolatto
Science will ... produce the data ... , but never the
full meaning. For perceiving real significance, we
shall need ... most of all the brains of poets, [and]
also those of artists, musicians, philosophers,
historians, writers in general. ~ Lewis Thomas
Real Artist quotes by Lewis Thomas
Just for the record, being smeared with shit and naked in the wilderness, spattered with pink vomit, this does not necessarily make you a real artist. ~ Chuck Palahniuk
Real Artist quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
Real artists take the misery and sadness of life and translate it into art. ~ Josh Peck
Real Artist quotes by Josh Peck
I think that fame only goes to your head if you are not a real artist. If you are a real artist and a good person who loves what they are doing, you are going to be the same person. ~ Lady Starlight
Real Artist quotes by Lady Starlight
I've gradually fooled myself into becoming a real painter ... I really just like to sit in my air-conditioned Rome painting studio surrounded by Medieval and Renaissance architecture and to hold a tube of Alizarin Madder Lake in my artist's hand and marvel at the shiny goop inside. ~ Mark Kostabi
Real Artist quotes by Mark Kostabi
It is in an artist's real interest to congratulate herself more often: not out of narcissism, but in her role as her own dear friend and advocate. ~ Eric Maisel
Real Artist quotes by Eric Maisel
I have written a couple of screenplays for studios, and each time has been less gratifying than the last. In my experience, they want no real representations of homosexuality, they want no complexity, they are terrified of ambiguity and unanswered questions - they don't know what they want, except that they want to make lots of money. The only freedom I've ever had as an artist has been in the theatre ... ~ Craig Lucas
Real Artist quotes by Craig Lucas
Any artistic achievement that is tailored to conform to social demands rather than to the real, uninhibited, feelings of its creator, is destined not to reach the heights of achievement, or even fail. It is only when an artist is dis-inhibited that he or she can reach the heights of artistic achievement. ~ Semir Zeki
Real Artist quotes by Semir Zeki
The concentration of a small child at play is analogous to the concentration of the artist of any discipline. In real play, which is real concentration, the child is not only outside time, he is outside himself. ~ Madeleine L'Engle
Real Artist quotes by Madeleine L'Engle
The critical sense is so far from frequent that it is absolutely rare, and the possession of the cluster of qualities that minister to it is one of the highest distinctions ... In this light one sees the critic as the real helper of the artist, a torchbearing outrider, the interpreter, the brother ... Just in proportion as he is sentient and restless, just in proportion as he reacts and reciprocates and penetrates, is the critic a valuable instrument. ~ Henry James
Real Artist quotes by Henry James
I do not mean merely in its adding to enthusiasm that intellectual basis which in its strength, or that more obvious influence about which Wordsworth was thinking when he said very nobly that poetry was merely the impassioned expression in the face of science, and that when science would put on a form of flesh and blood the poet would lend his divine spirit to aid the transfiguration. Nor do I dwell much on the great cosmical emotion and deep pantheism of science to which Shelley has given its first and Swinburne its latest glory of song, but rather on its influence on the artistic spirit in preserving that close observation and the sense of limitation as well as of clearness of vision which are the characteristics of the real artist. ~ Oscar Wilde
Real Artist quotes by Oscar Wilde
Societies never know it, but the war of an artist with his society is a lover's war, and he does, at his best, what lovers do, which is to reveal the beloved to himself and, with that revelation, to make freedom real. ~ James Baldwin
Real Artist quotes by James Baldwin
There's no "correct path" to becoming a real artist. You might think you'll gain legitimacy by going to art school, getting published, getting signed to a record label. But it's all bullshit, and it's all in your head. You're an artist when you say you are. And you're a good artist when you make somebody else experience or feel something deep or unexpected. ~ Amanda Palmer
Real Artist quotes by Amanda Palmer
As soon as I got into music, I tried to be a working, real artist who gets paid for what he does, who doesn't have a day job. ~ Frank Black
Real Artist quotes by Frank Black
I have met Mariah before and she's really cool and so funny. Everyone has been given the wrong impression of her, and maybe it is her doing. But you have to remember that celebrities are always in the spotlight and are sometimes forced to conduct themselves in a different way than they normally do. That's how it is in the business. I have met artists who are real divas, but Mariah Carey is not one of them. She is a very sweet person, and what nobody sees off camera is the real person she is on the inside. ~ Janet Jackson
Real Artist quotes by Janet Jackson
Being a cover artist is not like being a real artist. That's just copying what someone else did. ~ Sebastian Bach
Real Artist quotes by Sebastian Bach
Indie music is 'it' now. It's kind of a revolution to the music: 1980s, 1990s music was getting very sanitized; they were complying with the music industry. Music was getting more and more dead in a way. Now, because of the social climate that's very severe, the artists are compelled to start being real. It's really great that indie music is now. ~ Yoko Ono
Real Artist quotes by Yoko Ono
I feel like artists that are always quite sad in real life always make really happy music, and artists who are really bouncy and bubbly always make really sad music. ~ Marina And The Diamonds
Real Artist quotes by Marina And The Diamonds
The real artist while he paints does not think of the sale, only of the need to make a beautiful living thing. ~ Irving Stone
Real Artist quotes by Irving Stone
Yet a real artist, I've noticed, will survive anything. (Even praise, I happily suspect.) ~ J.D. Salinger
Real Artist quotes by J.D. Salinger
The real artist has no idea that he is sacrificing himself for art. He does what he does for one reason and one reason only-he can't help doing it. ~ Alma Gluck
Real Artist quotes by Alma Gluck
The real function of the artist is to give fresh vision to their own generation. ~ Doris McCarthy
Real Artist quotes by Doris McCarthy
I think Damien Hirst is hilarious. And I think he's a true artist. He's not hilarious first; I think he is a real artist, and I also think he's got an amazing sense of humor. ~ Jemima Kirke
Real Artist quotes by Jemima Kirke
The real con artist is Senator Marco Rubio.Who was elected in Florida and who has the worst voting record in the United States Senate. He doesn't go to vote. He's absent. ~ Donald Trump
Real Artist quotes by Donald Trump
I know my sound, and I have to be true to who I am as an artist, even though I want be real cool, and make really cool music. ~ Brooke Fraser
Real Artist quotes by Brooke Fraser
I think I can see people wanting to hear more music-music now as opposed to all hip-hop. You know, which I have nothing against hip-hop. I think some of it is really good. But on the other hand, some of the real great artists are just being lost because they're not getting the airplay or anything to make them inspired to record again. ~ Nickolas Ashford
Real Artist quotes by Nickolas Ashford
To the real artist in humanity, what are called bad manners are often the most picturesque and significant of all.
~ Walt Whitman
Real Artist quotes by Walt Whitman
There are contemporary artists that I hate with all my heart. These are provocateurs that are without feeling. Where is the real emotion? ~ Paolo Sorrentino
Real Artist quotes by Paolo Sorrentino
One of the beauties of being an artist is that you can create a whole new world, with circumstances that are better in your invented world than they are in the real world. ~ Maurice Sendak
Real Artist quotes by Maurice Sendak
Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact. ~ William S. Burroughs
Real Artist quotes by William S. Burroughs
The forger was too exacting, too superficial. Only the real artist has the false beginning. ~ Dominic Smith
Real Artist quotes by Dominic Smith
In every human being there is the artist, and whatever his activity, he has an equal chance with any to express the result of his growth and his contact with life. I don't believe any real artist cares whether what he does is 'art' or not. Who, after all, knows what art is? ~ Robert Henri
Real Artist quotes by Robert Henri
The real artist is striving to depict his subject's character and to stress the caricature, but at least it is art which is alive. ~ William Dobell
Real Artist quotes by William Dobell
The real artist has no pride. Unfortunately he sees that his art has no limits. He feels obscurely how far he is from the goal.
While he is perhaps being admired by others, he mourns the fact that he has not yet reached the point to which his better genius, like a distant sun, ever beckons to him. ~ Ludwig Van Beethoven
Real Artist quotes by Ludwig Van Beethoven
The real truthfulness of all works of imagination, sculpture, painting, and written fiction, is so purely in the imagination, that the artist never seeks to represent positive truth, but the idealized image of a truth ~ Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
Real Artist quotes by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
Why is it every other person you meet says they're an artist? A real artist doesn't need to gas on about it, he doesn't have time. He does his work and sweats it out in silence, and no one can help him at all. ~ Paula McLain
Real Artist quotes by Paula McLain
That's because only a real artist knows the actual anatomy of the terrible or the physiology of fear - the exact sort of lines and proportions that connect up with latent instincts or hereditary memories of fright, and the proper colour contrasts and lighting effects to stir the dormant sense of strangeness. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Real Artist quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
To hear an artist be transparent is one of the greatest things they could ever do for their fans. I love that, when I see my fans on the road we have real conversations and it's not even that I do it as some big ploy to have album sales. I do it because it's important for them to understand who I am. So, whatever backlash comes along with me being transparent, there's nothing I can do about it. ~ Sevyn Streeter
Real Artist quotes by Sevyn Streeter
One of the things that makes Wittgenstein a real artist to me is that he realized that no conclusion could be more horrible than solipsism. ~ David Foster Wallace
Real Artist quotes by David Foster Wallace
Art is a vocation, as much as anything in this world. For the real artist, it is the most natural thing in the world, not as necessary as air and water, perhaps, but as food and water. But we really do lead almost a monastic life, you know; to follow it you very often have to give up something. ~ Katherine Anne Porter
Real Artist quotes by Katherine Anne Porter
I understand. Seraphim, I hope you know you have a great talent. You are a real artist. What you did in the dining room has a deep meaning. It is, no more or less than the very picture of life as it is lived by all of us poor mortals. We try to sweeten it, but the agreeable part stays on the outside because life is always bitter within. ~ Alejandro Jodorowsky
Real Artist quotes by Alejandro Jodorowsky
All real philosophers have been artists in the realm of concepts. ~ Rudolf Steiner
Real Artist quotes by Rudolf Steiner
A real artist is the one who has learned to recognize and to render ...
the 'radiance' of all things as an epiphany or showing forth of the truth. ~ Joseph Campbell
Real Artist quotes by Joseph Campbell
In the history of everyone in whom the artist-within has survived conditioning, schooling, training - there are (persons) influences that have kept him alive, awake .. who have encouraged him without even trying - just by being. They have been One's real teachers. ~ Frederick Franck
Real Artist quotes by Frederick Franck
The young artist ... will discover out of ordinary things the meaning of ordinariness. He will not try to make them extraordinary. Only their real meaning will be stated. ~ Allan Kaprow
Real Artist quotes by Allan Kaprow
A human being is a real artist and a creative in any field, not a programmed robot in some factory. ~ Shawn Lukas
Real Artist quotes by Shawn Lukas
There is no one harder to live with than an artist. Therefore an artist is a real gift because he or she raises the sanctity of everyone else in the community. ~ David Steindl-Rast
Real Artist quotes by David Steindl-Rast
I wanted to be an artist, even at the age of 15, and people used to laugh at me. It was the late '90s, the time of pop stars and navel-dancing, where you were showing your midriff. I wanted to be a real singer. ~ Duffy
Real Artist quotes by Duffy
Kill him, you must kill him Jacky, and her, too. Because a real artist must suffer. Because each man kills the thing he loves. ~ Stephen King
Real Artist quotes by Stephen King
The artist is a strange being. I think it's safe to say that a real artist is conscious of having a personal singularity that is partly a blessing and partly a curse. An artist enjoys and suffers from isolation. As solitude, isolation can nurture. It can also destroy. ~ Peter Schjeldahl
Real Artist quotes by Peter Schjeldahl
We do live, all of us, on many different levels, and for most artists the world of imagination is more real than the world of the kitchen sink. ~ Madeleine L'Engle
Real Artist quotes by Madeleine L'Engle
The truth is, everyone likes to look down on someone. If your favorites are all avant-garde writers who throw in Sanskrit and German, you can look down on everyone. If your favorites are all Oprah Book Club books, you can at least look down on mystery readers. Mystery readers have sci-fi readers. Sci-fi can look down on fantasy. And yes, fantasy readers have their own snobbishness. I'll bet this, though: in a hundred years, people will be writing a lot more dissertations on Harry Potter than on John Updike. Look, Charles Dickens wrote popular fiction. Shakespeare wrote popular fiction - until he wrote his sonnets, desperate to show the literati of his day that he was real artist. Edgar Allan Poe tied himself in knots because no one realized he was a genius. The core of the problem is how we want to define "literature". The Latin root simply means "letters". Those letters are either delivered - they connect with an audience - or they don't. For some, that audience is a few thousand college professors and some critics. For others, its twenty million women desperate for romance in their lives. Those connections happen because the books successfully communicate something real about the human experience. Sure, there are trashy books that do really well, but that's because there are trashy facets of humanity. What people value in their books - and thus what they count as literature - really tells you more about them than it does about the book. ~ Brent Weeks
Real Artist quotes by Brent Weeks
When you are a real artist who is serious about your craft, you love good music. Period. ~ Lil' Kim
Real Artist quotes by Lil' Kim
I feel like I am a real artist and I want to be able to feel what I am singing about. So when I sing, 'Leave (Get Out),' I have been through that. I think it is just a new generation, whether people are ready for it or not. Teenagers are dating. ~ Jojo
Real Artist quotes by Jojo
The word mystical is an even worse word than spirituality - that artists take drugs, and then they add some crazy extra thing to what we all know is real. But our job as artists or as human beings is to investigate what we really think is real. ~ Chris Martin
Real Artist quotes by Chris Martin
It always felt like you were trying too hard to look like the audience or something. That whole thing about the artistic integrity, which, of course, I've never bought into - with any artist. It's just not a real thing. ~ David Bowie
Real Artist quotes by David Bowie
In the case of the creative mind, it seems to me, the intellect has withdrawn its watchers from the gates, and the ideas rush in pell-mell, and only then does it review and inspect the multitude. You worthy critics, or whatever you may call yourselves, are ashamed or afraid of the momentary and passing madness which is found in all real creators, the longer or shorter duration of which distinguishes the thinking artist from the dreamer. Hence your complaints of unfruitfulness, for you reject too soon and discriminate too severely. ~ Friedrich Schiller
Real Artist quotes by Friedrich Schiller
Working with Bruno Mars would be really awesome. I'm such a fan of his, and I love that he's a real artist. ~ Becky G
Real Artist quotes by Becky G
Sometimes being an artist is a real drag. It can be incredibly bureaucratic. ~ Micah Lexier
Real Artist quotes by Micah Lexier
Playing the good guy is tough because you know as well as I do, in real life, you have to watch your P's and Q's and conduct yourself in a respectable manner if you expect to have friends. ~ R. Lee Ermey
Real Artist quotes by R. Lee Ermey
In my day artists wanted to be outcasts, pariahs. Now they are all integrated into society ~ Marcel Duchamp
Real Artist quotes by Marcel Duchamp
Remember that for every technique you think you can fall back
on, there is a counter for it, or there are times when it cannot
be used. When real battle comes, you must remember that
some things will not be applicable. Don't think that any one
technique is quintessential. ~ Masaaki Hatsumi
Real Artist quotes by Masaaki Hatsumi
Teens are dealing with the same problems now in the '90s as they did back in the '70s, the only real difference is the clothes we wear! ~ Mila Kunis
Real Artist quotes by Mila Kunis
An unreal world was much bigger than a real world, and there was more than enough room in it to be yourself and not yourself at the same time. ~ Paul Auster
Real Artist quotes by Paul Auster
There is more real pleasure to be gotten out of a malicious act, where your heart is in it, than out of thirty acts of a nobler sort. ~ Mark Twain
Real Artist quotes by Mark Twain
I expect that any day now, I will have said all I have to say; I'll have used up all my characters, and then I'll be free to get on with my real life. ~ Anne Tyler
Real Artist quotes by Anne Tyler
An artist paints, dances, draws, writes, designs, or acts at the expanding edge of consciousness. We press into the unknown rather than the known. This makes life lovely and lively. ~ Julia Cameron
Real Artist quotes by Julia Cameron
I don't recall God ever saying you couldn't be 'cool'. It's only a problem if you esteem 'coolness' above that which is righteous and true, which is, when we give it its way, really what many of us do. 'Coolness' is too transient to be of any real and meaningful, lasting significance, and it is often in great conflict with one being one's honest, most vulnerable self. That, and in reality, some of the coolest people are actually those who least concern themselves with being 'cool' anyway, those who make 'trying to be cool' less evident. ~ Criss Jami
Real Artist quotes by Criss Jami
Something about that whole process of building the structure of that game turned into a real kind of lightbulb moment for me as a writer. ~ Naomi Novik
Real Artist quotes by Naomi Novik
People ask me if I'm an artist or an architect. But I think they're the same. ~ Frank Gehry
Real Artist quotes by Frank Gehry
I understood the craft of photography when done by an artist is art. ~ Ruth Bernhard
Real Artist quotes by Ruth Bernhard
Faith means being sure of what we hope for now. It means knowing something is real, this moment, all around you, even when you don't see it. ~ Joni Eareckson Tada
Real Artist quotes by Joni Eareckson Tada
Real satisfaction comes not in understanding God's motives, but in understanding His character, in trusting in His promises, and in leaning on Him and resting in Him as the Sovereign who knows what He is doing and does all things well. ~ Joni Eareckson Tada
Real Artist quotes by Joni Eareckson Tada
For the artist who practises photography, capturing the image is learning how to sketch on some medium, but is only half the challenge; learning how to print is applying a subjective pallet to that sketch, and completes the creative process. ~ David Travis
Real Artist quotes by David Travis
An empty canvas is the safest addiction in the world, art is the only drug that won't kill you, instead it'll save your life. ~ Nikki Rowe
Real Artist quotes by Nikki Rowe
In my mind I lead a phantom's life. My neighbor makes me real. ~ Marty Rubin
Real Artist quotes by Marty Rubin
'Police Story' had some of the best writing on television, and one reason for that is because most of the scripts were based on real cases. ~ Michael Mann
Real Artist quotes by Michael Mann
When I started, I was an artist; I wanted to be an artist. I became an actor almost by accident. I acted for fifteen years and tried to produce. I looked for stories that were the story beneath the story that you thought you knew, like 'The Candidate'. ~ Robert Redford
Real Artist quotes by Robert Redford
Names made a thing real. ~ Erika Johansen
Real Artist quotes by Erika Johansen
Artists are tuning forks. Their goal is to create resonance in the audience. ~ Bob Lefsetz
Real Artist quotes by Bob Lefsetz
I was poor. When you're poor you work, and when you're rich you expect somebody to hand it to you. So I think being reasonably poor is very good for people. ~ Imogen Cunningham
Real Artist quotes by Imogen Cunningham
I believe that the artist's feelings are in some way generative. And I suspect that much of the artist's most productive emotion - not all of it but much of it - is felt in the course of playing around with form. ~ Carter Ratcliff
Real Artist quotes by Carter Ratcliff
In Auschwitz I would often dream about my home. It's interesting that in that hell many of my dreams were quite pleasant. I would tell everyone that I lived for those dreams. The time I was awake was the real nightmare. ~ Louis Brandsdorfer
Real Artist quotes by Louis Brandsdorfer
Concerning the press and politicians, the hatred for all such evangelical groups is not because of their real or fancied blunders but because they have reintroduced biblical morality into politics. ~ R.J. Rushdoony
Real Artist quotes by R.J. Rushdoony
This is a story, not history. So the characters and incidents are not real. It is a story about different types of rulers who rule, protect, patronize, intimidate, terrorize, or kill their subjects and others. We call them presidents, sultans, ministers, and intelligence agencies. And many people end up as pawns to further their interests. ~ Raj Nellooli
Real Artist quotes by Raj Nellooli
What we think of as our sensitivity is only the higher evolution of terror in a poor dumb beast. We suffer for nothing. Our own death wish is our only real tragedy. ~ Mario Puzo
Real Artist quotes by Mario Puzo
The great difference between the real leader and the pretender is that the one sees into the future, while the other regards only the present; the one lives by the day, and acts upon expediency; the other acts on enduring principles and for the immortality. ~ Edmund Burke
Real Artist quotes by Edmund Burke
I never wanted to study art. And I don't think you need to study art if you are an artist. It's even dangerous to go to school. You need to do whatever you want, as you want. ~ Alejandro Jodorowsky
Real Artist quotes by Alejandro Jodorowsky
Especially in the Christian cult (wine and bread on the altar-tomb as the mystical body of Him Who Was Crucified, Who died and Who
was resurrected; the sacrament of new life and resurrection through food and drink). In the cultic redaction all elements of the complex appear not in a real but in a sublimated form, and are linked with one another not via a real-life narrative, but through mystic-symbolic links and interrelationships, and the triumph of life over death (resurrection) is accomplished not on a real and earthly plane but on a mystical one. ~ Mikhail Bakhtin
Real Artist quotes by Mikhail Bakhtin
