As for my relationship to Beethoven, I admire people who can say what they really think. It's as though he's saying, 'That's how I feel about the world, and I don't care what people may say.' His...

It's a shame when other people's gambling habits change the meaning of paintings or when fluctuations of value start to dictate how people perceive art because it's too expensive to be interesting or...

There is an art to wrestling, and there is a need to do it right. Cody Rhodes exemplifies all the right things.

I can only do music if I can do it the way I can do it.

Building a professional relationship on respect as opposed to affection is a very good idea. Running your art projects the way you'd run a dry-cleaning business is also a really good idea. You...

When I'm making the music, I feel like everything I throw out has to work. It counts. Because if you don't have people turning they neck all the way around to see what it is, it ain't stick on the...

My view is that comic books are meant to be long-form stories. They're meant to be novels.

From the time I was three or four years old, I drew all the time. Drew all the time, every second.

My mum was very interested in art and liked to write, and my dad was a hobbyist photographer.

I think making a good film shot is joyful.

I'll never forget my first Art Basel.

Poets lose half the praise they should have got, Could it be known what they discreetly blot.

Not to say people shouldn't get rich from art. I adore the alchemy wherein artists who cast a complex spell make rich people give them their money. (Just writing it makes me cackle.) But too many...

How many different works of art have been inspired by 'Don Quixote?' Thousands. Most people enter the novel, for better or worse, through the musical the 'Man Of La Mancha.'

I don't have this obsessive need to do street art all the time because it's already opened doors for me.

Art doesn't just happen by accident. It is about pulling out new tricks and trying new things.

The architect who first inspired me to follow this profession was Sir John Soane and his Regency home; well, his three homes, now a museum. The place is like an encyclopedia of paintings, antiquities,...

You have to know how to use the accident, how to recognise it, how to control it, and ways to eliminate it so that the whole surface looks felt and born all at once.

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 was inherently slightly more bitter or cynical and that kept me from going to the commercial formulaic crowd. Also, I went to an art college and I did my foundation in art.

There's not a whole lot of media interest in me other than just the records that I make.

The sun never sets on my gallery.

All my records have been written to be records, rather than writing a group of songs and seeing if they fit together.

There is a method to the madness of James Patterson's success. Co-writing with him is a terrific learning experience, particularly in the art of crafting a perfect thriller. The collaboration also...

'Twin Peaks' is one of those Rorschach ink blot things, where everybody finds their own favorite thing.

Please bear in mind that my observations and thoughts are the outcome of my own unaided impulse and curiosity alone; for, besides myself, in our town there be no philosophers who practice this art, so...

I was kind of freaked out by the art world in the 1980s. Just the money thing. All the competition over artists.

When I was still in prep school - 14, 15 - I started keeping notebooks, journals. I started writing, almost like landscape drawing or life drawing. I never kept a diary, I never wrote about my day and...

I find inspiration for my works of art in my studio and in the squared circle from all sorts of places.

I always find another version of myself in each of my films.
