I really do believe that art changes the landscape of the world.
I'm not really well educated - other than an art survey course at the High School of Art and Design in New York when I was, like, 15. I don't know the history of art, but I got over intimidation from the art world when I realized that I was allowed t...
You can go to Graff and buy a diamond that's flawless. You aren't going to be able to buy the same diamond at Fortunoff, but it's still a diamond you can enjoy. If fashion can allow you to have the Chanel mystique through a lipstick, then why shouldn...
You really can't bring about anything new with art.
Entertainment and art are not isolated.
Entertainment is in art like color in pictures.
From the moment I got to Hollywood, I've always felt like I never really got to do what I wanted to do. In general, artists feel that you're never really allowed to accomplish what you would like to accomplish because there's just so much of this sys...

The idea is, if I can't heal from my art, then how can you heal?
Once you take yourself too seriously the art will suffer.
From an art perspective, I don't know how you get better than 'Beetlejuice.' In terms of originality and a look, it's 100% unique.
Generally, I move in the direction of art.
I'm a big illustration and comic book fan. In my eyes, comic books and illustration are the same kind of art forms.
Art is the human disposition of sensible or intelligible matter for an esthetic end.
You can understand nothing about art, particularly modern art, if you do not understand that imagination is a value in itself.
In order to make the novel into a polyhistorical illumination of existence, you need to master the technique of ellipsis, the art of condensation. Otherwise, you fall into the trap of endless length.
Catharsis isn't art. You can't rely on catharsis to get a laugh. Because guess what? People do laugh when something's shocking, but that is, to me, the absolute fakest of laughs. That's not something that sustains a television series, or a movie, or ...
When the bright angel dominates, out comes a great work of art, a Michelangelo David or a Beethoven symphony.
