Pastoral Resources

These are all voluntary resources which help parents sort out the choices without infringing on the artists' rights to free speech, which is something that we respect.

The artists realise it will take time. It is an upliftment process.

There has never been any proper commitment to marketing these artists and their music. We are not Sony.

There are many artists that I present that I admit I like less than I do others. But I think that they warrant being presented by my own, personal standards.

My function at Verve was that of a genuine producer in artists and repertoire.

I made it easier for many artists to play in certain areas.

I allowed artists to play for as long as they felt they could justifiably continue to create.

There are two kinds of artists in this world; those that work because the spirit is in them, and they cannot be silent if they would, and those that speak from a conscientious desire to make apparent to others the beauty that has awakened their own admiration.

James Brown was one of the first artists who found four bars that he liked and played them the entire way through, and then he just added to it vocally.

I'm sometimes critical about other artists who come out with something different until maybe I hear the music. If the music is there, then they did their job, and I'll enjoy the CD.

Artists like Bach and Beethoven erected churches and temples on the heights. I only wanted... to build dwellings for men in which they might feel happy and at home.

Even though other people wrote my songs I put my stamp on them. I have a connection, but there is no truer connection than an artists and their own song.

Let's look at people as artists and try to support them; just because Picasso painted a couple of bad paintings, that's no reason to say he's a lousy painter.

I meet many people, I talk with them, like a TV show host. I show what's going on with Greenpeace, interesing political things, I have artists, musicians and bands.

And if we must educate our poets and artists in science, we must educate our masters, labour and capital, in art.

I've always gotten along best with artists.

The same music is playing on the radio in San Francisco, New York, Washington DC and Annapolis. Everywhere you go there's the same artists and same songs by them, over and over again. At some stations they play the same songs 50 to 60 times a week.

I'm quite sure that all true professional artists, of every description, in all walks of life, whether their craft is painting, music, sculpture, medicine or anything, have one primary concern - mankind.

Actually, I don't think there's anyone that represents the artists, except the artists themselves.

Most comic scriptwriters are very bad. The artists are good, but the writers are so bad.
