More quotes by 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
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
People sometimes ask me, because of the blacklisting, Do you hate the government? Don't you hate white people? No, it's greed that's the problem.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
Music has been my playmate, my lover, and my crying towel.
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.

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.

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
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.
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 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 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
By looking at the questions the kids are asking, we learn the scope of what needs to be done.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
I work closely with the printer to get the final print the way I want it.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
The time I save setting up and cleaning up probably balances out by the time I spend on output.

As a teenager I started painting and playing guitar.
