I think everybody has different priorities in their life. People live their lives differently. People become famous through all sorts of different reasons... some of it through art and some of it through just wanting to be famous. And I think how that all starts tends to reflect how you live your life daily.
Quote by -Keith Urban
Yeah a picture paints a thousand words it’s true, But it’s still not enough for how I feel about you. I wanna put you in a melody, I gotta set you to a groove
Quote by -Keith Urban
"Art is sacred. Punk rock is freedom. Expression and right to express is vital. Anyone can be artistic."
Quote by -Kurt Cobain
"To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it."
Quote by -Altering Kurt
We need to make sure that there's art in the school. Why? Why should art be in the school? Because if art isn't in a school, then a guy like Steve Jobs doesn't get a chance to really express himself because in order for art to meet technology, you need art.
Quote by -LL Cool J
At Sarah Lawrence, I realized that everybody was already what they were going to be. The painters were painting, the writers writing, the dancers dancing. And nobody wore any makeup. The art was uppermost.
Quote by -Alice Walker
Without the sense of fellowship with men of like mind, of preoccupation with the objective, the eternally unattainable in the field of art and scientific research, life would have seemed to me empty.
Quote by -Albert Einstein
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
Quote by -Aristotle
The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.
Quote by -Aristotle
The art of acceptance is the art of making someone who has just done you a small favor wish that he might have done you a greater one.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
Modern paintings are like women, you'll never enjoy them if you try to understand them.
Quote by -Freddie Mercury
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies, Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die, I can fly, my friends...
Quote by -Freddie Mercury
“The beautification of the world is not a work of nature, but a work of art, then it involves an artist.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“Savages and modern artists are alike strangely driven to create something uglier than themselves. but the artists find it harder.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“The new school of art and thought does indeed wear an air of audacity, and breaks out everywhere into blasphemies, as if it required any courage to say a blasphemy. There is only one thing that it requires real courage to say, and that is a truism.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
He is neither a strategist nor is he schooled in the operational arts, nor is he a tactician, nor is he a general. Other than that he's a great military man.
Quote by -Norman Schwarzkopf
“The art of life is not controlling what happens to us, but using what happens to us”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“The art of life is not controlling what happens to us, but using what happens to us”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
You make a film and always hope you're going make "Citizen Kane" or "The Bicycle Thief." You make the film, and for one reason or another, one clicks and one doesn't, but it's out of your control completely.
Quote by -Woody Allen
My films are therapy for my debilitating depression. In institutions people weave baskets. I make films.
Quote by -Woody Allen
I do the movies just for myself like an institutionalized person who basket-weaves. Busy fingers are happy fingers. I don't care about the films. I don't care if they're flushed down the toilet after I die.
Quote by -Woody Allen
American films, it's a money-making industry. And in France, you can find great respect for cinema as art.
Quote by -Woody Allen
The film studios learned to our dismay but to their pleasure that if they spent $200 million making a film they could make half a billion on it. So they were not interested anymore in quality films... They can't afford to be that risky at those prices. Consequently you're getting a lot of remakes, sequels, dopey comedies full of toilet jokes...
Quote by -Woody Allen
I wish I was writing something much more heavy each time I did a film, and that the comedies just occasionally come out. But unfortunately you're stuck with what you're born with.
Quote by -Woody Allen
I can understand that an audience, buying a ticket to see a picture of mine, wants to see something funny because they feel confident that at least I have a fighting chance to make a funny film when I make a film, whereas if I make a dramatic film there's one chance in a thousand that it's really going to come out great, so I understand how they feel about that and they're completely right.
Quote by -Woody Allen
My films are misinterpreted all the time. I don't mind that. Everybody's films are misinterpreted. But there's no malice or stupidity in the people that misinterpret them. You know what you do, but someone else sees it, and they want to talk about it or write about it, and so they misinterpret them.
Quote by -Woody Allen
A general philosophy of the female characters in my films is they all want something to believe in, and not having anything.
Quote by -Woody Allen
Film is more of novelty, because I've done so much theater over many years. I'm in love with making movies. Also, I find it easier to remember three minutes of dialogue than three hours.
Quote by -Woody Allen
The French make two mistakes about me. They think I'm an intellectual because I wear these glasses and they think I'm an artist because my films lose money.
Quote by -Woody Allen
My films are a form of psychoanalysis, except that it is I who am paid, which changes everything.
Quote by -Woody Allen
That’s one of the nice things about writing, or any art; if the thing’s real, it just lives. All the attendant hoopla about it, the success over it or the critical rejection—none of that really matters. In the end, the thing will survive or not on its own merits. Not that immortality via art is any big deal. Truffaut died, and we all felt awful about it, and there were the appropriate eulogies, and his wonderful films live on. But it’s not much help to Truffaut.
Quote by -Woody Allen
To be a film director is not a democracy, it's really a tyranny. You're the head of the project, for better rather than worse. I write the film and I direct the film, I decide who's going to be in it, I decide on the editing, I put in the music from my own record collection.
Quote by -Woody Allen
If I was to see any of my films now I would feel, oh god you know it's awful I could do that so much better now. Look at all the terrible things I did and all the mistakes and all the compromises and all the blunders I made, and it would be such a terrible experience for me to see them. So it's better that I put it out and move on to the next thing and make it history as quickly as possible.
Quote by -Woody Allen
“Advertising is the modern substitute for argument; its function is to make the worse appear the better.”
Quote by -George Santayana
“Nothing is really so poor and melancholy as art that is interested in itself and not in its subject.”
Quote by -George Santayana
“Science is the response to the demand for information, and in it we ask for the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Art is the response to the demand for entertainment, for the stimulation of our senses and imagination, and truth enters into it only as it subserves these ends.”
Quote by -George Santayana
