Peter Max Quotes

One's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes.

Why an artist loves what they do is often so hard to describe.

Being an artist is celebrating life.

There's only one reason for my whole life, and that's art. Nothing else counts; nothing else gives me pleasure; nothing else gives me satisfaction.

In a lot of the art world, you have to present yourself as you know what you're doing at a young age. Music gave me another outlet. The 'no wave' bands were such an inspiration; it felt so free - once you start doing it, it's hard to stop. But I can't get away from art. It comes back around. I wouldn't be true to myself if I didn't pursue it.

Throughout the time in which I am working on a canvas I can feel how I am beginning to love it, with that love which is born of slow comprehension.

I want to see where and how far I can go as an artist. I look back and see what I've done, and I want to do as much as I can in my lifetime. I love doing it. If I didn't have that passion or love for it, I wouldn't do it.

I make music not to make money but because it's in me.

Most importantly, I don't do music for people to want to be a singer, actor, or dancer. I do it because I love it and I want to show others you can accomplish goals.

To be able to inspire somebody just by doing something that you love, just by creating your art, is something that's very near and dear to my heart.

This creating? It's my passion.

I'm just excited that I get to put out the music I love versus music just for the sake of it.

Music has always been a part of me and art in general. I love visual art as well.

When I make a picture, I make love.

I am only limited by the amount of life I have left to capture the ideas I am already working on. Another problem is that I am not sure if I would rather create or collect art. Collecting art is another passion of mine.

I have a desire to create more film, more beauty, more art, more love, but I don't feel desperate. It's not about creating or building a career.

I love artists that just do what they do with so much passion and emotion.

Up until the last minute, it was art and drawing for me. That was the first real and natural thing I thought I was good at and loved to do. But I developed a similar kind of love for music.

I finally got to the point where I decided I don't care if it's good art or bad art - it's what I do. I enjoy doing it, and people like it.

First you study photography, then you practice photography, then you serve photography, and finally one becomes photography.

I unfortunately do suffer for my art.

I'm doing what I do for the right reasons. I love the music that I make.

I love the passion you go through while you're creating.

Everything that is strong in me has gone into my art work.

I want to work in art forever.
