More quotes by Buffy Sainte-Marie
The artistic process in digital art is very much the same as for making other kinds of paintings.
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
The key is in remaining just aloof enough from a painting so that you know when to stop.
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
I was playing with sound like I would have played with pots and pans as a kid.
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
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
Sixteen million colors in your palette are hard for any artist, especially a beginner, to turn down.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
I work closely with the printer to get the final print the way I want it.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
Children don't have to be raised. They'll grow.
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
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
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
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
We also have the option of scanning in an image from outside the computer... a photo, or a sketch done with traditional tools and we can then paint, manipulate, process, change, and further develop the image within the computer, watching our progress on the monitor.
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.
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
You have to leave room in life to dream.
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
