Inside you there's an artist you don't know about.
I am an artist, and I have a lot more to offer than just being a one-dimensional character, and I think our audience sees that and understands that - they're behind it.
The Beatles were raw musically, but I think they really had something.
America can well expect to develop a goodly amount of composers for she has a goodly number of people.
I have not done much as an actor. There is no end for an artist, and my best is yet to come.
There's a lot of talent in South Central L.A., in Compton and Long Beach and Watts, and the city north of Pico pretty much sits back and waits for that talent to emerge and then steps in.
There is a satisfactory and available power in every one to learn drawing if he wishes, just as nearly all persons have the power of learning French, Latin or arithmetic, in a decent and useful degree.
Everybody can draw, in my estimation. If you give a man 50 years, he'll come up with the Mona Lisa.
No, I don't believe in genius. I believe in freedom. I think anyone can do it. Anyone can be like Rembrandt.
Everybody's an artist. Unfortunately we don't treat them as such.
We need to make sure that there's art in the school. Why? Why should art be in the school? Because if art isn't in a school, then a guy like Steve Jobs doesn't get a chance to really express himself because in order for art to meet technology, you need art.
Every artist has limits. No one can do everything. It's impossible.
We are all Michaelangelos.
Know that there is often hidden in us a dormant poet, always young and alive.
I don't know to what extent someone can BECOME an artist - you either are or you aren't - and if you are you'll HAVE to make your way to some kind of sickly light, no matter how terrible the soil you were seeded in your nature will out somehow.
If a writer understands his work as something that originates with him but then, with any luck, gets away from him, then what he needs is someone who can grasp the potential of the piece and lead him to that higher ground.
All of you here have one hundred thousand bad drawings in you. The sooner you get rid of them, the better it will be for everyone.
Don't teach talent that isn't there.
My objective in teaching my pupils is that they should be fitted for any kind of art.
Everyone can draw when they're five. Most of us lose the ability.
China is important to the world in that they are a force and on the move. Exposing them to figurative art opens up a potential for artistic expression far greater than anyone would ever have dreamed possible until today. It is this very spirit of the struggle and determination to triumph that inspires creative expression.
I have not become the artist I believe I am. I want to become a stadium act. I'm not done at all.
The great thing about music is that whatever you're into, you see new possibilities.
If Mozart had power tools, there's no telling how great his music might have been.
Many young painters would never have taken their pencils in hand if they could have felt, known, and understood, early enough, what really produced a master like Raphael.
