I got an exhibition!"

"You mean, a patron," that same strange man interrupted again, a jealous edge to his voice.

"Now, now," Elliot grinned. "I'll be sure to spread the wealth and introduce all you starving artists to my new rich friends."

"No thanks," the other man replied. "Being a kept man, funded by some millionaire to create, is the antithesis of artistic freedom. ~ Ann A. McDonald
Starving Artists quotes by Ann A. McDonald
I realised the bohemian life was not for me. I would look around at my friends, living like starving artists, and wonder, 'Where's the art?' They weren't doing anything. And there was so much interesting stuff to do, so much fun to be had ... maybe I could even quit renting. ~ P. J. O'Rourke
Starving Artists quotes by P. J. O'Rourke
I sat down and looked at the menu and thought how ironic it was that back then starving artists came to cafes like these because they lived on wine and street pigeons to survive, and now the same cafes are famous because of them and no starving artist can afford to eat there. It's hard to have an existential crisis when a glass of wine costs more than nine dollars. ~ Josefina Lopez
Starving Artists quotes by Josefina Lopez
I like to watch 'Grey's Anatomy' when I'd doing cardio. But, sometimes I do need good music to get me moving. I like high energy songs by artists like Justin Timberlake and Rihanna. ~ Alison Sweeney
Starving Artists quotes by Alison Sweeney
I was totally involved in Bobby's World from the time we started the idea to sitting with the artists on how he would look, to the script meetings, the music, the lyrics, the songs. ~ Howie Mandel
Starving Artists quotes by Howie Mandel
You want to know, companions of my youth,
How much has changed the wild but shy young poet
Forever writing last poem after last poem;
You hear he's dark as earth, barefoot,
A turban round his head, a bolo at his side,
His ballpen blown up to a long-barreled gun:
Deeper still the struggling change inside. ~ Emmanuel F. Lacaba
Starving Artists quotes by Emmanuel F. Lacaba
I've always been drawn to artists who paint for the everyday person. I love the American illustrators. ~ Thomas Kinkade
Starving Artists quotes by Thomas Kinkade
I think for an artist there are so many things to make pictures of now, that everyone else may be suffering, but at least artists will just be stimulated by it all. ~ Eric Drooker
Starving Artists quotes by Eric Drooker
Raymond Hendler exhibited a group of abstract paintings that displayed rare high spirits. Using a great deal of fresh white, Hendler devised extremely simple symbols which he dispersed felicitously on his shining grounds. These bright, often linear hieroglyphs serve both as pictorial animators-they often flow in winding patterns or like fluent handwriting-and as references to the plentitude of the artist's existence. Gardens and sky and human joy are read in these exceedingly compressed forms. ~ Dore Ashton
Starving Artists quotes by Dore Ashton
Women have sat indoors all these millions of years, so that by this time the very walls are permeated by their creative force, which has, indeed, so overcharged the capacity of bricks and mortar that it must needs harness itself to pens and brushes and business and politics. ~ Virginia Woolf
Starving Artists quotes by Virginia Woolf
All art is an intensely vulnerable gesture, and it is made with no small amounts of risk, and fear. So, I have plenty of sympathy for self-defense mechanisms, especially among artists. ~ Steven Erikson
Starving Artists quotes by Steven Erikson
It was just me in my basement honing my skills, hearing songs on the radio and trying to manipulate them and then writing over those, and I started with local artists in Boston, writing records for them. ~ Clinton Sparks
Starving Artists quotes by Clinton Sparks
I'm so used to artists saying to me, "Listen, I'm going to have five pages done next week," and then three weeks later I'm phoning them, begging them for two pages. And Stuart [Immonen]is a guy who will promise you five pages and deliver six pages, and the six pages are even better than you could have ever imagined. ~ Mark Millar
Starving Artists quotes by Mark Millar
A society without jaywalkers might indicate a society without artists. ~ Paul Theroux
Starving Artists quotes by Paul Theroux
Financial firms are sending their back-office jobs overseas. But what do fine artists do? They create something new, unexpected, and delightful that changes the world. MFA abilities are harder to outsource and more important in an abundant world. ~ Daniel H. Pink
Starving Artists quotes by Daniel H. Pink
Ace would be the first to turn the words into a joke, one about how artists fell in love every day before noon and got their hearts broken by dinner. ~ Kit Rocha
Starving Artists quotes by Kit Rocha
The problem for most artists isn't piracy, it's obscurity. ~ Tim O'Reilly
Starving Artists quotes by Tim O'Reilly
He knew nothing about policy and taxes or what makes a people, and now, God help him, he was like those kids who think their country is Google. 'You're just not going deep enough,' Luke said. 'Money has imploded. Religion has gone mad. Privacy is disappearing. The ice-cap is melting and children are starving to death. And you want to sing an old song about national togetherness. ~ Andrew O'Hagan
Starving Artists quotes by Andrew O'Hagan
Every production of an artist should be the expression of an adventure of his soul. ~ W. Somerset Maugham
Starving Artists quotes by W. Somerset Maugham
Once we become conscious of a feeling and attempt to make a corresponding form, we are engaged in an activity which, far from being sincere, is prepared (as any artist if he is sincere will tell you) to moderate feelings to fit the form. The artist's feeling for form is stronger than a formless feeling. ~ Herbert Read
Starving Artists quotes by Herbert Read
You know, there used to be a difference between authentic music and sellout music. I'm talking about when I was young, in the sixties? Back then we knew there was a soullessness to the sellouts, and we wanted to be on the side of the artists. But now? Being a sellout is the authentic thing. When Molly Miller says 'I'm just being real,' what she means is that everyone wants money and fame and any artist who claims otherwise is lying. the only fundamental truth is greed, and the only question is who is up front about this. That's the new authenticity. Molly Miler can never be accused of selling out because selling out was her goal all along. ~ Nathan Hill
Starving Artists quotes by Nathan  Hill
Even your graffiti artists spray Rumi on the walls ~ Khaled Hosseini
Starving Artists quotes by Khaled Hosseini
I didn't really do many business ventures throughout my career because I would have an idea and then before I'd have a chance to make something of it, I'd see someone else do it. I just liked to watch my fellow artists become entrepreneurs and be people who can inspire the next generation. I did that more with my songs. ~ Nas
Starving Artists quotes by Nas
I don't think the government should touch art. Governments are risk averse. They encourage risk-averse personalities to be artists. ~ Dave Hickey
Starving Artists quotes by Dave Hickey
I never had any expectations of winning a Grammy. It wasn't something I was set on, that I was hoping and praying and starving for. ~ Beck
Starving Artists quotes by Beck
The starving poet business is no good nowadays. ~ Henrik Ibsen
Starving Artists quotes by Henrik Ibsen
Ballet needs figures that people can recognize and relate to. People don't know ballet dancers as well as they know other artists. ~ David Hallberg
Starving Artists quotes by David Hallberg
The Kirtaniyas are in the new wave of younger Kirtan artists bringing
the divine practice of Bhakti from the ancient to the modern world.
With fierce drumming and passionate singing they light up everyone
around them and spread the deep joy of God's names. An evening with
the Kirtaniyas will never be forgotten! ~ Jai Uttal
Starving Artists quotes by Jai Uttal
The element of heroic maleness had always been present in the concept of the artist as one who rides the winged horse above the clouds beyond the sight of lesser men, a concept seldom applied to those who worked with colours until the nineteenth century. When the inevitable question is asked, "Why are there no great women artists?" it is this dimension of art that is implied. The askers know little of art, but they know the seven wonders of the painting world. ~ Germaine Greer
Starving Artists quotes by Germaine Greer
THEY WERE PEOPLE who went in for Negroes - Michael and Anne - the Carraways. But not in the social-service, philanthropic sort of way, no. They saw no use in helping a race that was already too charming and naive and lovely for words. Leave them unspoiled and just enjoy them, Michael and Anne felt. So they went in for the Art of Negroes - the dancing that had such jungle life about it, the songs that were so simple and fervent, the poetry that was so direct, so real. They never tried to influence that art, they only bought it and raved over it, and copied it. For they were artists, too. ~ Langston Hughes
Starving Artists quotes by Langston Hughes
Flying is not only the art of the birds, but it is also the art of the artists! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Starving Artists quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
Abuse can feel like love."
"Abuse can feel like love…Why?"
Damon remained so still it didn't look like he was breathing. He looked at the teacher, unwavering. "Starving people will eat anything. ~ Penelope Douglas
Starving Artists quotes by Penelope Douglas
I work with many jazz artists as Miles Davis, Laughlin, etc.. One of the things all these artists had in common is that they had no fear. ~ George Duke
Starving Artists quotes by George Duke
Every dream, every vision is a masterpiece canvas on the wall of our minds. So as artists we should make an effort to bring the artwork to the the exhibition. ~ Euginia Herlihy
Starving Artists quotes by Euginia Herlihy
I opened my door and everything they had for me was tainted because the land of Used-to-Be is just full of ghosts starving for your breath. ~ Catherynne M Valente
Starving Artists quotes by Catherynne M Valente
Lots of ambitious work by young artists ends up in a dumpster after its warehouse debut. So an unknown artist's big glass vitrine holding a rotting cow's head covered by maggots and swarms of buzzing flies may be pretty unsellable. Until the artist becomes a star. Then he can sell anything he touches . ~ Charles Saatchi
Starving Artists quotes by Charles Saatchi
Artists need to express. ~ Bebe Neuwirth
Starving Artists quotes by Bebe Neuwirth
There's something about Betty, like she's a great big empty space waiting to suck in trouble. There'll always be a story.... One of these days Betty's going to get up and find a line of starving Africans outside her door. You can depend on it. ~ Laurie Graham
Starving Artists quotes by Laurie Graham
I would rather be an artist than a leader. Ironically, a leader has to follow the rules. ~ Criss Jami
Starving Artists quotes by Criss Jami
When I looked at the other artists when I first started at Marvel, I was surrounded by giants. It was very intimidating. ~ Herb Trimpe
Starving Artists quotes by Herb Trimpe
Not to waste time on nonsense. Not to be taken in by conjurors and hoodoo artists with their talk about incantations and exorcism and all the rest of it. Not to be obsessed with quail-fighting or other crazes like that. ~ Marcus Aurelius
Starving Artists quotes by Marcus Aurelius
But nobody listens to artists any more. Paint cannot stop progress, only color it. ~ Michael Walterich
Starving Artists quotes by Michael Walterich
Artists and writers have to understand and live the truth that what we are doing is nourishing the world. ~ Ariel Gore
Starving Artists quotes by Ariel Gore
I don't think there is room for 'artistic temperament.' Professional artists understand art is a business. If businesses ran their companies like many artists do their careers, they would not stay open a year. ~ Jack White
Starving Artists quotes by Jack White
It is because artists do not practise, patrons do not patronize, crowds do not assemble to reverently worship the great work of Doing Nothing, that the world has lost its philosophy and even failed to invent a new religion. ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
Starving Artists quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
And the writers keep writing and the artists keep painting but it doesn't mean too much. ~ Charles Bukowski
Starving Artists quotes by Charles Bukowski
I graduated in June 1948 and then went in the fall to the art school. I stayed with my cousins on Seventeenth Street in the beginning, and later had my own apartment very near there and was able to walk to the Art Institute on Elmwood Avenue. The school had a faculty of local artists - Jeanette and Robert Blair, James Vullo who were well known in the area. It was a school that I think thrived on returning GIs, as many schools did at that time. It was a very informal program - but it was professional. ~ Paul Smith
Starving Artists quotes by Paul Smith
They say that art comes from the soul. The more drama in an artist's life, the more he can draw on for his art. Van Gogh and Picasso had troubled souls, but poor Steve Kaufman has been shot once, stabbed 3 times - all by women. That is a lot of drama for great art. ~ Robin Leach
Starving Artists quotes by Robin Leach
Why does it seem as if the poorly adjusted people – the misfits and social outsiders – create art and the most sane and rational of the human species make money? Does creating art require a person to tap into the irrational magma of their soul? ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Starving Artists quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
Chickens are true creatures of zen - they live only and absolutely for the moment. Their actions one particular second will not necessarily have any influence or bearing on their actions in the next second, nor are they necessarily influenced by their actions of the prior second. Chicken thoughts arrive in their tiny mad little minds like flashes of a strobe light, each light being an action, each flashing with the brilliance of a not very brilliant thing. Each action utterly random. The complete randomness of chaos. Chickens are notorious escape artists, not due to their ability to devise cunning plans as they huddle together in their coop beneath a bare light bulb, scratching out complex diagrams in the dirt, but simply out of sheet unpredictability. They are the pachinko balls of the animal kingdom, effecting their escapes through the simple device of, say, turning left for no particular reason. ~ Jeffery Russell
Starving Artists quotes by Jeffery Russell
You can want, wish, and dream all day,
but those that prepare, work, learn, practice, and problem-solve
are the ones that find success in sports, business, music, or whatever.
Back up what you want with doing the work it takes to get it. ~ Loren Weisman
Starving Artists quotes by Loren Weisman
Victoria Beckham is so nasty, why doesn't she just go home?! Her dresses are beautiful, but I don't care what she does. She's mean to all the people around her. She's too short to be a diva. We all use the same hairdressers, make-up artists, limo-drivers and greeters at the airports in LA and nobody has anything nice to say about her. They say she's rude. She can't always just be having a bad day. ~ Joan Rivers
Starving Artists quotes by Joan Rivers
