We don't know what the next generation of art is going to look like. We're kind of making it up as we go along. Not unlike the tech industry.
My parents did not discourage me but could not understand how I could make a living by art. Their idea of an artist was a person who was condemned to starvation.
I don't feel I'm trying to make art. I'm trying to make interesting things. People can relate to that.
Many Japanese painters and calligraphers would change their names intentionally to keep their relationship to the art always fresh. This way, others' expectations can be avoided.
I have respect for those who make money at art and do it well and smartly, because that commercial aspect keeps the world going and running, in a sense.
People surprise you, Frank, with just how fuckin stupid they are.
I like to feel that all my best photographs had strong personal visions and that a photograph that doesn't have a personal vision or doesn't communicate emotion fails.
The biggest ingredient in a best friend is someone whose actions you respect and who you can truly be yourself around.
As a sportsperson, the best thing is people recognising you and loving you for what you do. For me, glamour is 100 people in the hotel feeling happy to see you.
I get really motivated when I put on the India jersey. It is a responsibility, so I want to perform in the best way I can.
I guess if I had to put it into a single phrase, the moral of the Frank stories is that the hammer never really falls.
Frank's audience doesn't care if a girl singer, a comic or an organ grinder with a monkey opens the show. They are there to see HIM.
I've never done a solo tour. I feel like getting out there and doing that.
That's it really, at the moment I wouldn't say I was influenced by any one thing in particular.
Mind is everything. Muscle - pieces of rubber. All that I am, I am because of my mind.
I actually started singing those songs six or seven years ago, when I was an opening act for Frank Sinatra.
'Friday' is about hanging out with friends, having fun. I felt like it was my personality in that song.
I can do the old hand vibrato just fine, but I like attacking the strings.
I like leaping around on stage as long as it's done with class. None of this jumping up in the air and doing the splits.
I can imagine that Rod Stewart likes giving autographs because he's pure showbusiness.
I'm sure Obama is an atheist; I'm sure Kennedy was an atheist, but I doubt if Pope Frank is.
