I create music; I create painting; I create whatever I want to create. I create, what you say, clothes. I create, I don't know, dance move. I create anything.

Gael Monfils

Remember: ego can create misery, ego can create anguish, ego can create hate, ego can create jealousy. Ego can never become a vehicle for the divine, it can never become the passage for the beyond.

Rajneesh

Is the artist impelled by spiritual forces, by the divine afflatus, by conscious or unconscious emulation of others? Do angles whisper in the ears of the chosen few, and create for them visions of aethereal beauty? Do landscape painters of genius walk the plains of Heaven? Or is it only vanity that urges him to paint?

Walter J. Phillips

Someone who is an artist can say, 'I can create and can make what I create disappear.'

Isabelle Adjani

Here are the Ten Commandments for a writer: Create, Create, Create, Create, Create, Create.

Mehmet Murat Ildan

[We are not] to take one step, even in the direction of what is good, beyond that to which we are irresistibly impelled by God, and this applies to action, word, and thought.

Simone Weil

I used to be on the kitchen floor, crying, wasted and thinking of lyrics. That was the only way I could create - as a tortured artist. I've learned that you can be stable and taking care of yourself and still create beautiful work.

Mary Lambert

You never know what an artist is going to create next.

Kesha

I believe that to create real-seeming characters, the writer must be willing to go on a voyage of self-exploration. It can be revealing and even painful to explore your own weakness, but it gives you genuine emotion. Characters in fiction come alive because of the believability of their emotional lives and that is what I strive to create.

Sara Paretsky

I try to create an image to suit my music. These days, you have to create your own personal brand as an artist. It's not about just putting music out any more unfortunately.

Nina Nesbitt

My Catholic faith is my life. Any artist, if he is to be faithful to how he perceives the world and to the nature of his creative gifts, cannot divorce the two. To create is to love. To love is to create.

Michael O'Brien

A true artist could and should create till the day they die. You don't ever fail as an artist until you quit being an artist.

Christian Keiber

A true artist is driven by the never-ending desire to create.

Lee Hammond

The duration of love in a being always depends upon the loved one. I create an emotion in you, as you create one in me. You do not create it in yourself.

Elinor Glyn

Ads create dialogue, they create conversation, they create attention - that's our objective.

Kenneth Cole

If you're going to be an artist, you have to create music that moves you, and to not try to fit in so much with what's happening around you. It's a career choice. I could have done other kinds of songs that got me in the radio or Top 10, but I wouldn't feel proud of the work. I come up short when I create music I don't like, and fans can tell too. The goal isn't to get into it to be famous; the goal is to perfect your craft and create your own sound.
