As a solo artist, I just felt cemented in front of the mike stand. There was very little time to play with the audience and be a band member.
I always wanted to be an artist, whatever that was, like other chicks want to be stewardesses. I read. I painted. I thought.
I love power. But it is as an artist that I love it. I love it as a musician loves his violin, to draw out its sounds and chords and harmonies.
I toured with Skrillex, did an HBO commercial with Diplo. In the hip hop movement, I was the first artist Travis Scott ever featured with before he blew up. I had the songs with Chris Brown and Tyga. I've worked with some of the biggest artists in the world.
Chris Brown is a fantastic artist and songwriter and to be able to work with him was kind of unbelievable.
Her mother, Laurie Simmons, is a contemporary artist, and my stepmother, Cindy Sherman, is a photographer, so they've known each other forever. Lena and I were often at the same dinner parties when we were kids.
I think I've committed the one really bad English crime, which is I've risen above my station. I was supposed to be a pop star, and suddenly I'm claiming that I'm an artist of some kind.
I commissioned this artist to make these silver tomahawks by hand. Larry Sellers, who plays Cloud Dancing on the show, blessed and cleansed them and all.
An artist needn't be a clergyman or a churchwarden, but he certainly must have a warm heart for his fellow men.
Everything Ticketmaster stands for is what we're fighting against. They're just a small cog in a machine where the artist is at the bottom.
Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.

Duke Ellington always had a style: original, clean with interesting color combinations. He had an artist's eye.
The artist is seen like a producer of commodities, like a factory that turns our refrigerators.
I create the music, and if this artist could complement this record, I reach out.
The little dissatisfaction which every artist feels at the completion of a work forms the germ of a new work.
No one is an artist unless he carries his picture in his head before painting it, and is sure of his method and composition.
I have been known as the minimal and conceptual artist for over five decades. I think I haven't changed much.
What is the difference between a truly creative artist and an interpretive artist? I have not concluded anything about that, but it's fair to ask the question.
I remember when I first came out as an artist, back in 2004 or 2005, the record label used to take me to all the radio stations and just have me sit in, like, their lunchroom or their conference room, and play for the whole staff. Just to introduce them to me so they would play my records.
