More From Stevie Smith

When a record company makes a mistake, the artist pays for it. when a manager makes a mistake, the artist pays for it. when the artist makes a mistake, the artist pays for it.
Mistake Artist Records
The great artist when he comes, uses everything that has been discovered or known about his art up to that point, being able to accept or reject in a time so short it seems that the knowledge was born with him, rather than that he takes instantly what it takes the ordinary man a lifetime to know, and then the great artist goes beyond what has been done or known and makes something of his own.
Art Men Use
There questions of wanting to be an artist, and what does that mean, what makes you an artist? are you an artist if you're in a gallery in new york and not an artist if you're doing it at home? do you need legitimation to count? if you've been acculturated to believe that you have certain obligations - familial, social, human - if multitasking has been your forte and that's what's been praised and rewarded, where do you find the single-mindedness, the selfishness to do something like art? i think those are questions that arise differently for women and for men.

Changing things is not easy, and i say this without any irony. it is not that someone does not want to, but because it is a hard thing to do. take obama, a forward-thinking man, a liberal, a democrat. did he not pledge to shut down guantanamo before his election? but did he do it? no, he did not. and may i ask why not? did he not want to do it? he wanted to, i am sure he did, but it did not work out. he sincerely wanted to do it, but did not succeed, since it turned out to be very complicated.

San francisco can start right now to become number one. we can set examples so that others will follow. we can start overnight. we don't have to wait for budgets to be passed, surveys to be made, political wheelings and dealings ... for it takes no money ... it takes no compromising to give the people their rights. it takes no money to respect the individual. it takes no political deal to give people freedom. it takes no survey to remove repression.

Every great artist must begin by learning to draw with the single line, and my advice to young animators is to learn how to live with that razor-sharp instrument or art. an artist who comes to me with eight or ten good drawings of the human figure in simple lines has a good chance of being hired. but i will tell the artist who comes with a bunch of drawings of bugs bunny to go back and learn how to draw the human body. an artist who knows that can learn how to draw anything, including bugs bunny.

I do not think i am successful just because i have money. i'm successful because i love who i am and i have no regrets, and i'm successful because i have a great heart and i have compassion and i care and i would be happy with or without money.
