But in the old days, visual artists used to fall into two distinct categories: those of us who created images with cameras and those of us who applied stuff onto other stuff, with brushes or other tools.

More quotes by Buffy Sainte-Marie
What can government do? They can listen to their own people. But I'll tell you what citizens can do, when we elect one of these people - whether we think it's a good guy or a bozo - you got to stay on the case. You don't vote and go home and give them the keys to the car, he'll drive you right off a cliff. You have to help people to stay honest.

Another time factor is output: proofing and printing. That is, getting your work out of the computer and onto paper and having it satisfy you. It can be time consuming and expensive.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
There is so much joy in native culture but so much poverty. It's very disturbing.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
Music has been my playmate, my lover, and my crying towel.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
The artistic process in digital art is very much the same as for making other kinds of paintings.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
That is, an artist who creates lots of work probably experiences prolific days and slower days.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
The time I save setting up and cleaning up probably balances out by the time I spend on output.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
Digital imaging allows both groups to rise above the limitations of mess and clutter and mechanics, and apply our talents to creating images limited only by our imaginations.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
I sang a song in Hindi nobody even knew what that was. Singing about Native American issues, nobody did that... I had no reason to want to copy anybody else... All I had was my originality.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
Take a bunch of little kids to the beach and they all make art. Adults are too stupid to call it art, but it is art. They'll use their imaginations, make drama, make up characters, make pictures in the sand, they'll make up songs that no one's ever heard before. All kids, I think, are creative, but they get it pounded out of them in school.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
By looking at the questions the kids are asking, we learn the scope of what needs to be done.

I had a teacher's degree and a degree in Oriental Philosophy from the University of Massachusetts. I thought I was going to India to study but all of a sudden, I had a career in music. It really surprised me.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
I'm trying to entice people, and sometimes my information is very hard hitting. So I've always wanted to have a soft approach.

Children don't have to be raised. They'll grow.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
I had no reason to want to copy anybody else. What I wanted to give audiences for the few minutes that I thought my career would last was something unique.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
As a teenager I started painting and playing guitar...Music has been my playmate, my lover, and my crying towel...This song (Until It's Time for You To Go) popped into my head while I was falling in love with someone I knew couldn't stay with me. The words are about honesty and freedom inside the heart.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
Some people say I was very brave, but I really just didn't know any better. All I had was my originality.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
As a teenager I started painting and playing guitar.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
Grab a guitar, put some kind of strings on it, a banjo string, then a violin string, then a guitar string, tune it any way you want, and make some noise, and see what you get. And work on it until you get something that you think is interesting. That's all there is to art for me.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
I work closely with the printer to get the final print the way I want it.
