“Now, you can just get a laptop, get some software, put a microphone on it and make a record. You have to know how to do it. It does help if you've had 35 or 40 years of experience in the studio. But, it still levels the playing field so artists can record their own stuff.” IfsKnowsYearsDoeStillsHelpingArtistStuffLevelsKnow HowRecordsFieldsStudiosSoftwareMicrophonesLaptopsPlaying FieldsYears Of Experience Author:Roger McGuinn
“Artists, writers and people in creative fields are entrepreneurs by necessity. Nobody gives them a paycheck or picks up their medical insurance. The ones who succeed learn to think and act like 'independent operators.' I think people who are technically 'employees' have to think this way as well. The company is not looking out for you.” PeopleThinkingWayGivingWellsArtistCompanyCreativeFieldsSucceedPicksIndependentEntrepreneurMedicalEmployeePaychecksOperatorsMedical Insurance Author:Steven Pressfield
“The genuine creator creates something that has a life of its own, something that can exist and function without him. This is true not only of the writer, artist and scientist, but of creators in other fields.With the noncreative it is the other way around: in whatever they do, they arrange things so that they themselves become indispensable.” WayArtistFieldsScientistFunctionCreatorGenuineIndispensable Author:Eric Hoffer
“An artist must only judge of what he understands, his field is just as limited as that of any other specialist... That in his sphere there are no questions, but only answers, can only be maintained by those who have never written and have had no experience of thinking in images.” ArtistAnswersFieldsJudgmentCriticismRangeSpecialists Author:Anton Chekhov

“Many rules for the creation of colour schemes have been published in recent years, but, while they are popular in commercial studies, I know of no creative artist who employs them.

“Business is a creative and therefore spiritual endeavor. Great entrepreneurs enter the field of business in the same way great artists enter the field of art. With their business creation, entrepreneurs express their spiritual desire for self-realization, evolutionary passion for self- fulfillment, and creative vision of a new world. The entrepreneur's business is their artwork. The creation of business is as creative as any creation in art. In fact, building a business may be the most creative human activity.” WorldWayHumansMayArtSelfFactsSpiritualDesireArtistPassionVisionCreativeCreationFieldsBuildingActivityEntrepreneurSelf RealizationRealizationFulfillmentEndeavorNew WorldGreat ArtGreat ArtistArtworkHuman ActivitySelf FulfillmentCreative VisionBuilding A Business Author:Yasuhiko Kimura

“With most people, not describable as artists, all the finer part of their vitality goes into sex. They become third-rate poets during their courtship. All their instincts of drama come out freshly with their wives. The artist is he in whom this emotionality normally absorbed by sex is so strong that it claims a newer and more exclusive field of deployment. Its first creation is the Artist himself, a new sort of person; the creative man.” PeopleMenFirstsPersonsArtistStrongSexCreativeWifeCreationFieldsPoetDramaThirdsClaimsInstinctRateVitalityExclusiveCourtshipDeployment Author:Wyndham Lewis
