“A good artist should be isolated. If he isn't isolated, something is wrong.”
Orson Welles

Emily Desmond
“If some musicians put more energy into their own craft, they'd be less likely to attack the artist they have a problem with 'not being'”
Larss Vincent McKevitt
“What do you think an artist is? An imbecile who has only his eyes if he is a painter, or his ears if he is a musician, or a lyre at every level of his heart if he is a poet, or, if he is merely a boxer, only his muscle? On the contrary, he is at the same time a political being, constantly alert to the heartrending, burning, or happy events in the world, molding himself in their likeness.”
Pablo Picasso
“Unknown artists, creating what they are told, give their copyrights to the corporations that they work for. The artists that are making a difference, under their own name, in their own style, on their own terms, must forever own their own work, spiritually and legally”
Maria Brophy
“The artist does not tinker with the universe, he recreates it out of his own experience and understanding of life.”
Henry Mille
“The artist who is not also a craftsman is no good; but, alas, most of our artists are nothing else”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
