Our society and media have lost touch with the job of the artist. The job of the artist has been subordinated to the job of the record seller.

Terence Trent D'Arby

I didn't take a job on Fox News because I'm interested in progress. I'm interested in shouting and pointing and simplifying things!

The job of the artist is to point at things.

Miranda July

I would like to be known as an 'artist'. Whether that be music, acting, sketching, cooking, whatever. I'm interested in all of those things.

Mark Salling

I'm a recording artist, a performing artist and a producing artist. All those things have everything to do with the outcome of my shows. I get myself studying every part of the game and not everyone has the characteristic to do that. In my mind, you need all three to become an artist.

PartyNextDoor

I would like to be known as an artist. Whether that be music, acting, sketching, cooking, whatever. Im interested in all of those things.

When I was a kid, I loved Sherlock Holmes. I'm not interested in crimes. I'm interested in the mind of the detective and his process, which to me is a lot like the artist.

A lot of the people that we have made offers to, and where we make offers, when they hear it's a part-time job, or a it's four-month or five-month job - and I understand this - they're not interested. They're American people. They're not interested.

Donald Trump

An artist, if he is truly an artist, is only interested in one thing and that is to wake up the minds of men, to have mankind and womankind realize that there is something greater than what we see on the surface.

Marvin Gaye

It is difficult to say why I decided I wanted to be an artist. Obviously, I had some facility, more than other people, but sometimes facility comes because one is more interested in looking at things, examining them, more interested in the visual world than other people are.

David Hockney

One of the interesting things an artist does is they keep rediscovering things, whether it's a jazz piece or a role you've done for 3,000 performances or a song you're singing for the 3,000th time. My job is to find that spark that keeps it fresh and alive.
