I always wanted my work to speak for itself, and have opportunities to do interesting work and not just puff pieces.

Amanda Fuller

I've always had the mentality of: work hard, get to bed early, focus - and let your work speak for itself.

Olivia Palermo

I like to promote my work. I do the promotion for my work because that is required. Apart from that I just don't know how to promote myself, to be honest, I think my work ideally should speak for itself.

Jennifer Lopez

In my first 15 or 20 years of authorship, I was almost never asked to give a speech or an interview. The written work was supposed to speak for itself, and to sell itself, sometimes even without the author's photograph on the back flap.

John Updike

Hannah Simone

A work of art does not need an explanation. The work has to speak for itself. The work may be subject to many interpretations, but only one was in the mind of the artist. Some artists say to make the work readable for the public is an artist’s responsibility, but I don’t agree with that. The only responsibility to be absolutely truthful to the self. My work disturbs people and nobody wants to be disturbed They are not fully aware of the effect my work has on them, but they know it is disturbing.

Louise Bourgeois

I'm atypical in my personal life, my situation is not that of the average struggling artist, and so I feel like I have to work even harder to prove myself and let the work speak for itself. At the same time, I'm not prepared to hide who I truly am.

Zoe Buckman

As long as my work continues to speak for itself outside of what I look like, I'm okay.
