“I think it's the pain and suffering that drive you to become an artist. The art itself should be the pain, sort of exorcising every demon and making you feel like you're a person that matters.” ThinkingFeelsShouldPersonsArtMatterPainArtistSufferingLike YouDemonPain And Suffering Author:Marilyn Manson
“There are two ways. One is to be a puppet, follow the culture, and do whatever they want. That was mentally disturbing to me, and still is. And the other way is to go out. I knew there would be problems from my family, and also from my environment. But I thought that physical pain would be better than the mental pain. And I started working as an artist.” WayWantStillsTwoProblemWould BePainArtistCultureEnvironmentMy FamilyDisturbingTwo WaysPuppetsPhysical PainMental Pain Author:Malina Suliman
“[The artist] speaks to our capacity for delight and wonder, to the sense of mystery surrounding our lives; to our sense of pity, and beauty, and pain; to the latent feeling of fellowship with all creation--and to the subtle but invincible conviction of solidarity in dreams, in joy, in sorrow, in aspirations, in illusions, in hope, in fear which binds together all humanity--the dead to the living and the living to the unborn.” ArtFeelingsDreamPainTogetherJoyArtistHumanitySpeakWonderCreativityOur LivesMysteryCreationSorrowIllusionCapacityDelightConvictionPityAspirationSubtleSolidarityFellowshipInvincibleUnbornLatentCreating Beauty Book:The Portable Conrad Source: The Portable Conrad
“What is it that turns people into artists? It often comes from some kind of pain or angst, a need to understand or express something.

“In life we all go through different situations that cause you to reflect. I had the opportunity to be married to a wonderful person.

“The Gnostics believed that exile was the essential condition of man. Do you agree? I do. The artist and the addict both wrestle with this experience of exile. They share an acute, even excruciating sensitivity to the state of separation and isolation, and both actively seek a way to overcome it, to transcend it, or at least to make the pain go away. What is the pain of being human? It's the condition of being suspended between two worlds and being unable to fully enter into either.” MenWorldWayHumansTwoStatesPainArtistShareConditionsEssentialsOvercomingAgreeSeparationIsolationGoing AwayBeing HumanSensitivityAddictExileSuspendedTwo Worlds Book:Turning Pro: Tap Your Inner Power and Create Your Life's Work Source: Turning Pro: Tap Your Inner Power and Create Your Life's Work
“Women hock their jewels and their husbands' insurance policies to acquire an unaccustomed shade in hair or crêpe de chine. Why then is it that when anyone commits anything novel in the arts he should be always greeted by this same peevish howl of pain and surprise?
