One similarity I see between peers and some of the people who read my books is that comics were definitely an outlet for us.
It gets better. It gets so much easier to be in your skin no matter what size that skin is. If you do something that you're good at and that makes you happy, that's the best outlet that I could ever suggest to anybody. . . . if you are able to just enjoy who you are, and if you can learn to love who you are, then you'll just be a much happier person.
I have no desire to prove anything by my work. I have never used it as an outlet or as a means of expressing myself. I just dance.
I feel that one of the roles of the artist, in the way I define it, is that I need to be not just someone observing these tiny pockets of people on the planet who have devoted their lives to preserving whatever it is they're passionate about. I want to be them. I am one of them. I just have a different outlet and final outcome as an artist than many of them would. For them, the process can just end in holding on to it, just knowing they've got it tucked away in their private collection. I value that so much, but I feel the conversation dies in a way there.
The truth is that the more responsible the media outlet, the more responsive they are to constructive criticism.
If I didn't have my films as an outlet for all the different sides of me, I would probably be locked up.
I turned to music originally because of my past and needing a release or an outlet to get out anger or frustration or hurt.
There is nothing fiercer than a failed artist. The energy remains, but, having no outlet, it implodes in a great black fart of rage which smokes up all the inner windows of the soul. Horrible as successful artists often are, there is nothing crueler or more vain than a failed artist.
Musicians have to suffer to a certain degree in order to obtain their outlet.
At 6 years old, the ice became a place for me to express myself. Because I was so shy off the ice, it became my safe haven, with music and freedom and self-expression. That was my emotional outlet.
A lot of musicians aren't proud; they'll do other work, just to be able to play music. I guess that's the way it's always going to be - musicians will have to suffer to a certain degree in order to obtain their outlet.
A great country is like the lower outlet of a river. It is the world's meeting ground, the world's female.
For a while these reveries provided an outlet for his imagination; they were a satisfactory hint of the unreality of reality, a promise that the rock of the world was founded securely on a fairy's wing.
Singing was the big focus and outlet for me.
Roman’s a little gay boy who lives in me. And every time I talk he sort of just appears and I tell him, ‘Roman, you know, stop it, you’ve gone mad, I tell you, mad. ’ He’s an outlet to say what I need to say but sometimes don’t want to.
I don't write songs thinking about formats, where is it going to get played, who am I gonna please, what's the outlet for it.
Students can't leave their lives at the door when they come to school. They bring with them whatever is going on at home and in their communities. Poetry and theater provide an outlet for students to express themselves and process what they're going through.
I think a lot of people want to, at some point in their life, be someone else, run away and escape, in some way. We actors do get to do it. We have a job that allows for that. We have an outlet for it.
Giving full rein to one's cynicism as one goes along produces a normal outlet and maintains an emotional equilibrium.
Each one of us is an outlet to God and an inlet to God.
