“As awesome as it is to be with a big act and get three catered meals a day and get a dressing room with an actual shower in it, it's hard sometimes as a new artist to come across in 25 minutes. You get 25 minutes to hopefully impress these people. I think the longer set is more suitable for us and gives us an opportunity to connect better.” PeopleThinkingGivingSometimesHardBigsArtistThreeOpportunityRoomsMinutesHopefullyMealsShowersImpressDressingsSuitableDressing RoomsNew Artists Author:David Nail

“In order to be artists we need to be in our studios, in our private rooms... in our private personal space... that sacred protected space, so we can make our work.

“An artist is somebody that puts themselves in a room, they're a wee bit self-indulgent and you know, sink into their music and it [will] be a very personal experience.

“Writers are egotists. All artists are. They can’t be altruists and get their work done. And writers love to whine about the Solitude of the Author’s Life, and lock themselves into cork-lined rooms or droop around in bars in order to whine better. But although most writing is done in solitude, I believe that it is done, like all the arts, for an audience. That is to say, with an audience. All the arts are performance arts, only some of them are sneakier about it than others.” WritingBelieveArtDoneArtistOrderI BelieveRoomsAudienceSolitudePerformancesBarsLocksWork DoneCorkPerformance Art Author:Ursula K.

“Real artists find answers. The knowledge of the artisan is within the confines of his skills. For example, I know a lot about lenses, about the editing room. I know what the different buttons on the camera are for. I know more or less how to use a microphone. I know all that, but that's not real knowledge. Real knowledge is knowing how to live, why we live, things like that.” KnowsDifferentRealUseArtistAnswersRoomsKnowingExampleSkillsCamerasButtonsEditingLensesMicrophonesArtisansReal KnowledgeReal Artists Author:Krzysztof Kieslowski
