More quotes by 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
I'm trying to entice people, and sometimes my information is very hard hitting. So I've always wanted to have a soft approach.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
My first Macintosh was a 128k machine which I upgraded to 512k the minute it became possible.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
As a teenager I started painting and playing guitar.
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
He's a Catholic, a Hindy, an atheist, a Chein, a Buddhist, a Baptist and a Jew, and he knows, he shouldn't kill.
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
That is, an artist who creates lots of work probably experiences prolific days and slower days.
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
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
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
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.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
I didn't know what I was gonna get the first time I sat down at a piano, but I loved it and it became my playmate for life.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
You have to leave room in life to dream.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
I was playing with sound like I would have played with pots and pans as a kid.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
Everybody's creative. We create our songs and our paintings, our families and our children. Every one of us is on the cutting edge of the future.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
By looking at the questions the kids are asking, we learn the scope of what needs to be done.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
Music has been my playmate, my lover, and my crying towel.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
Some of my songs are like dreams, and when you go to sleep at night you don't know if you're gonna have a dream or what you're gonna dream about.
