• ‟ Objectifying is kind of a funny thing. Art is objectification, all art, because you're taking someone and making them into an object. But people can also talk back more to you when you're sketching them. They can look at you and say, 'Oh man, you got me wrong.'

  - Molly Crabapple
  

• ‟ I am lucky because I do fine art, and that is half of my living. And then illustration provides the other half.

  - Molly Crabapple
  

• ‟ Art is for the elite because it has a very high price-point of entry.

  - Molly Crabapple
  

• ‟ I'm an artist, and I love the visual. Fashion is high art sometimes and hack work other times, but it's something worthy of study and love.

  - Molly Crabapple
  

• ‟ Art is much more confined by materials than writing is.
