Do all artists have to be slightly mad?

no... it's just that those who can't create art, or sometimes even appreciate it, are the ones who refer to themselves as sane...

[voldelange.livejournal.com]

no...it's just those that don't understand art that say artists are mad,because they just don't understand...and people tend to disagree with what they don't understand and call it wrong,stupid,mad and so on...so artists are normal...the others have a problem *rolls eyes* :P

everyone has his own madness, not just artists..:)

[cmerun12.livejournal.com]

Nope. Sometimes they have to be slightly happy.

[kabandra.livejournal.com]

Of course! ;)

But aren't we all at least a little mad here?

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

That's a great slant on it... I'm of the opinion that the creative faculty itself is hard to understand, hence it's almost always misunderstood :)

I like my artists a little mad, my engineers have to be totally insane!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Well now, that's been an area of contention for a while. I still say you need an engineering degree to be called an engineer. O:-)

[new-dawn.livejournal.com]

yes since ALL humans are slightly mad

[macpurp.livejournal.com]

what is mad anyway?

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Would I do a thing like that? :P

[kosta-pasta.livejournal.com]

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yup, and the ol' Planet Earth is just one big asylum :P

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Anything not normal?

Artists always tend to stray from what is normal, always have a little bit of eccentricity in their personalities, are generally very outspoken, usually defy the mainstream (and the government, haha!) ... having all these traits make those other "sheep" in society view you as "mad" since artists can be so brazen about their views and life and self and it always seems to go against what is seen as acceptable behavior. I don't know if artists ARE actually mad, it's just the term attached to them by outsiders.
