Jean-michel Basquiat Quotes
Believe it or not, I can actually draw. I am not a black artist, I am an artist. I don't listen to what art critics say. I don't know anybody who needs a critic to find out what art is. I don't think about art when I'm working. I try to think about life. I had some money, I made the best paintings ever. I was completely reclusive, worked a lot, took a lot of drugs. I was awful to people. I start a picture and I finish it. I thought I was going to be a bum the rest of my life. I wanted to be a star, not a gallery mascot. Since I was seventeen I thought I might be a star. I'd think about all my heroes, Charlie Parker, Jimi Hendrix... I had a romantic feeling about how these people became famous.
