Most artists work all the time, they do actually, especially good artists, they work all the time, what else is there to do? I mean you do.
There are good artists that have children. Of course there are. They are called men.
I think every artist should follow their vision; their hearts is what they need to reveal, not something that society is looking out for. That said though, I think also artists have, continuously good artists, have been good for their times.
Genius can probably run on ahead and seek out new ways. But the good artists who follow after genius - and I count myself among these - have to restore the lost connection once more.
I think good artists know when they're on a roll, and they recognize when lightning is striking. It's a very fortunate thing to have that inspiration and not to overanalyze it or mess with it; you just follow it if you love what you do.
I don't get involved in criticizing or extolling really good artists who do their job. That's for other people.
I like to imagine that the Neanderthals were all really good artists.
But I'm interested in the Barnes Collection in Philadelphia. I hear there are some of the worst Matisses there. I like seeing bad art by good artists. It's inspiring. I'm able to identify with them. It makes them real.
My kids are good artists, and they do a pretty good version of Dad in their caricatures.
I have worked with several art directors and production designers who are just magnificent. Dave Getz, Paul Felix, Ian Gooding... just amazing artists, and I would say, if I had anything to do with it, I just pick good artists!
I've always thought really good artists in general are overqualified. You're paid to stand there and do a line, but the guy has probably gone to drama school... but they have developed it to be just, like, one specific line.
All kids, when they go to school, are pretty good artists and dancers and singers and poets. All that gets buried, basically through being educated, or brainwashed.
I was born with a happy heart, and I try to keep a good attitude. It's not true that I'm happy all the time because nobody is, and we all go through our things.
I don't think it's a good attitude in your life to feel that you have to be rich to have self-esteem.
Whatever your situation might be, set your mind to whatever you want to do and put a good attitude in it, and I believe that you can succeed. You are not going to get anywhere just sitting on your butt and moping around.
If you get a diagnosis, get on a therapy, keep a good attitude and keep your sense of humor.
My mother, she had a very good attitude toward money. I'm very grateful for the fact that we had to learn to save. I used to get like 50 pence a week, and I'd save it for like five months. And then I'd spend it on Christmas presents. I'd save up like eight pounds. It's nothing, but we did that.
It's nice to be cheered, but I'll always have a good attitude on the pitch.
I look at Jagger and the like and if I see a good attitude I'll admire it but I wouldn't copy their style.
Before 'Gangnam Style' I was not a good attitude artist.
