The very essence of the creative is its novelty, and hence we have no standard by which to judge it.
I got a pouch at Chelsea Market in NYC that says, 'Art Is More Important Than Math.' It has pencils and a highlighter. I always have to sign something or highlight a script.
You know, one of the only times I ever wrote about art was the obituary of Warhol that I did for the Village Voice.
Art is the objectification of feeling.
Objectifying is kind of a funny thing. Art is objectification, all art, because you're taking someone and making them into an object. But people can also talk back more to you when you're sketching them. They can look at you and say, 'Oh man, you got me wrong.'
Art is the objectification of feeling, and the subjectification of nature.
Theatre critics have no special access to the truth. And there should be no objective truth to art.
In Art, man reveals himself and not his objects.
Since obscenity is the truth of our passion today, it is the only stuff of art - or almost the only stuff.
When I look back at my life and think about what really happened, my memory is obscured by the stories I've created out of those incidents. In stories, as reality melds with art, the result sometimes feels truer than real life.
Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.
I've been called many names like perfectionist, difficult and obsessive. I think it takes obsession, takes searching for the details for any artist to be good.
I don't have this obsessive need to do street art all the time because it's already opened doors for me.
When I was in school, they say everybody can do art. And I was, like, a little bit obstinate - not an anarchist, but I was always asking questions. I said, 'Isn't art supposed to be difficult?' If we can all do art, then it's not really art. It's supposed to be difficult.
Emotion resulting from a work of art is only of value when it is not obtained by sentimental blackmail.
Stealing things is a glorious occupations, particularly in the art world.
The cinema occupies an important place in the overall development of art and literature.
The art of statesmanship is to foresee the inevitable and to expedite its occurrence.
When a number of crimes - for instance, burglaries - can be linked to the same offender, police often plot the locations on a map. The art of finding the location of the criminal's home based on the crime sites is a key objective in what is known as geographical profiling.
In politics, you must learn to say 'no' without offending people. That is an art that one must master: to satisfy a person even when you have to say 'no' to him.
