Art is very tricky because it's what you do for yourself. It's much harder for me to make those works than the monuments or the architecture.
I think comedy has evolved like every art form, and people probably do less standing around and telling jokes, and more things that have to do with reality.
It's wonderful to see art in a museum, but it is institutionalised. I don't like the idea of the artwork as something that requires special conditions. I would like it to be universal.
I believe art has to take responsibility but it should not give up being art.
Art is longing. You never arrive, but you keep going in the hope that you will.
The main thing in making art often is letting go of your expectation and your idea.
There's a side that I want to do just like really retarded arty films like parody, pretentious art films that kind of are supposed to have some deep meaning.
I think with the whole new Internet media, I'm not necessarily Internet savvy, but I just feel that the way that art in general will be presented to the public is going to be different.
Art is for entertainment purposes, but it's also to reflect our dreams, our hopes, the present, the future the past - whether it's good or bad.
Artists today think of everything they do as a work of art. It is important to forget about what you are doing - then a work of art may happen.
At no point do I wish to be in conflict with any man or masculine thought. It doesn't enter my consciousness. Art is anonymous. It's not competitive with men. It's a complementary contribution.
Art is a reality, not a definition; inasmuch as it approaches a reality, it approaches perfection, and inasmuch as it approaches a mere definition, it is imperfect and untrue.
And I have exposed myself to art so that my work has something beyond just the usual potter.
The forms of art are inexhaustible; but all lead by the same road of aesthetic emotion to the same world of aesthetic ecstasy.
I have no illusions about my art. I am what the public made me and, consequently, I am not likely to forget my debt to them.
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.
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 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.
My life has always somehow been played out in a minor key, unresolved. Art somehow resolves things for me.
