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

Orson Welles

I am a person before I am anything else. I never say I am a writer. I never say I am an artist...I am a person who does those things.

Edward Gorey

I have to do the work of self-love and affirmation, and say, "I am a woman, I am a person of color, I am the granddaughter of immigrants, I am also the descendant of slaves, I am a mother, I am an entrepreneur, I am an artist, and I'm joyful." And maybe in seeing my joy, you can finish your sentence with, "And I am joyful too."

Kerry Washington

People ask who I am as an artist, who I am as a person. I don't ever want to tell them who I am; you can find that out in the music.

Kip Moore

As a person, I believe that I am sensitive, which helped me be the artist I am.

Nadia Ali

I am very conscious of who I am as an artist and as an inspirational person.

R. Kelly

I've become more confident in who I am as an artist and as a person. I know what I want and am not afraid to voice it in the studio. Or in life. Take it or leave it!

Tina Parol

Whether splendidly isolated or dangerously isolated, I will not now debate; but for my part, I think splendidly isolated, because the isolation of England comes from her superiority.

Wilfrid Laurier

When you're socially awkward, you're isolated more than usual, and when you're isolated more than usual, your creativity is less compromised by what has already been said and done. All your hope in life starts to depend on your craft, so you try to perfect it. One reason I stay isolated more than the average person is to keep my creativity as fierce as possible. Being the odd one out may have its temporary disadvantages, but more importantly, it has its permanent advantages.

Criss Jami

I'd love to be an artist that's multifaceted. At the moment, I am not. But wouldn't that be cool if I was like, 'Yeah, let me pull out my guitar and play you a song.' I would adore that. I am so far not gifted in that way. But I am a very hard worker and a very determined person, so who knows?

Anne Hathaway

I am pretty bad at doing my makeup myself, so these days, I am learning from a makeup artist. I treat my face as a sketchbook and am gradually trying things that I learned from the artist.

Nayeon

I am a serious artist in my own right, in the sense that I've spent my entire life being an artist and trying to be an artist and making work.

David Shrigley

I think that fame only goes to your head if you are not a real artist. If you are a real artist and a good person who loves what they are doing, you are going to be the same person.

Lady Starlight

As I have continued to make music and progress as an artist, I think I am steadily getting better at expanding my lyrical content and defining who I am as an artist.
