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.

More quotes by Buffy Sainte-Marie
That is, an artist who creates lots of work probably experiences prolific days and slower days.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
The artistic process in digital art is very much the same as for making other kinds of paintings.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
The key is in remaining just aloof enough from a painting so that you know when to stop.
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
Children don't have to be raised. They'll grow.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
Music has been my playmate, my lover, and my crying towel.
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
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
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
There is so much joy in native culture but so much poverty. It's very disturbing.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
All the lights on Broadway don't amount to an acre of green.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
As a teenager I started painting and playing guitar.
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
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
