I went into the business for the money, and the art grew out of it. If people are disillusioned by that remark, I can't help it. It's the truth.
People are surprised at how down-to-earth I am. I like to stay home on Friday nights and listen to 'The Art of Happiness' by the Dalai Lama.
You have to master not only the art of listening to your head, you must also master listening to your heart and listening to your gut.
I hope what I do has an art to it, and as an artist you have to try new things and keep yourself entertained.
We have created indoor installations inside museums, like the Wrapped Floor at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago in 1968, and not monumental at all by any standards.
There can be nothing exclusive about substantial art. It comes directly out of the heart of the experience of life and thinking about life and living life.
The hidden child wants to be able to participate and to co-create in art, rather than being simply an admiring viewer.
My parents weren't artistic, but I was always surrounded by beautiful things. And Mexico is a country which has experienced thousands of years of art and culture.

I'm learning with my mom how to cook more Spanish food. I'm trying to make a good paella, but that's a real art.
Well, I also love magic, which is, you know, different than showmanship. Magic's an art where you use slight of hand or illusion to create wonder.
It seems almost backwards to me that my music seems the more emotional outlet, and the art stuff seems more about ideas.
One wants to think that - and this is really a stupid thought - that through your art or whatever you do as an actor you can actually affect someone else's lives and thoughts or whatever.
You don't need tons of money to create art. You do need tons of money to be a part of show business. They are two different things.
I kind of wonder if creativity is all morphing into one big thing that's not even art, but something universal and bigger.
It's sort of a law of the art world: The stuff that grows in importance is only the stuff you bought because it wowed you.
I guess art itself is insane. Its actual function is rarely clear, and yet people give their hearts and souls and lives to it, and have for all of history.
I was really trying to sell to people who hate jazz: to make a case for the art form as youthful and energetic, not the sort of rarified intellectual activity it's painted as.
