“It's good to wander into the studio and walk out with something that's better than you'd imagined it to be. If everything was as you imagined it to be, it just wouldn't be as much fun.” IfsFunWalksStudiosWanderBetter Than You Author:Dave Grohl
“I have a studio in the country - in the woods - but my paintings look more real to me than what is outdoors. You walk outside; the rocks are inert; even the clouds are inert. It makes me feel a little better. But I do have a faith that it is possible to make a living thing, not a diagram of what I have been thinking: to posit with paint something living, something that changes each day.” ThinkingFeelsLooksLittlesHas BeensRealCountryNatureWalksRocksPaintingPaintCloudsStudiosWoodsEach DayLiving ThingsDiagrams Book:Philip Guston: Collected Writings, Lectures, and Conversations Source: Philip Guston: Collected Writings, Lectures, and Conversations
“Studio Ghosts: When you're in the studio painting, there are a lot of people in there with you - your teachers, friends, painters from history, critics... and one by one if you're really painting, they walk out.

“It's a weird thing when you make records. You try to hear it before you make it, so you walk into the studio with this idea of what you expect to happen, and that usually changes. That usually turns into something else, and that's a good thing.

“It doesn't take a lot to get me motivated. I'm a studio rat.

“Men who are offenders of street harassment and women who experience street harassment can walk by and feel something about it, because it's out there in the environment where the harassment actually happens. So it's a lot more powerful than an oil painting that's stuck in a gallery or under my bed or in my studio where only a couple of eyes are going to see it, as opposed to it being in an environment where it could possibly effect a change.” MenFeelsHappensEyeWalksPowerfulEnvironmentStreetsEffectsPaintingCoupleBedStudiosOilStuckGalleryHarassmentOffendersOil PaintingStreet Harassment Author:Tatyana Fazlalizadeh
“I was extremely fortunate to live around the corner from a recording studio and to be chosen to have a paper route to make enough money to pay for the music lessons.

“Now I know that if I'm in a fight or a big argument with executives or the studio or whoever, and it's getting to a point where it's starting to get bad, I don't have to have the fear of, "Am I strong enough to see this through? Would I really make a stand here? Would I really quit over this issue?" And I know in my heart that there is a place where I would walk away. I don't have to make it about my ego. I don't have to make it about whether I'm being strong enough or tough enough.” IfsKnowsHeartEnoughBigsFightingStrongWalksIssuesMy HeartEgoToughArgumentStartingStudiosQuittingExecutivesStrong Enough Author:Ronald D.
