In art there are only fast or slow developments. Essentially it is a matter of evolution, not revolution.

It was Public Art, defined as art that is purchased by experts who are not spending their own personal money.

Architecture is a art when one consciously or unconsciously creates aesthetic emotion in the atmosphere and when this environment produces well being.

An interesting thing happened in 1989, right as I was graduating: the stock market crashed and really changed the landscape of the art world in New York. It made the kind of work I was doing interesting to galleries that wouldn't have normally been interested in it.

But don't call me an actor. I'm just a worker. I am an entertainer. Don't say that what I am doing is art.

Now, there are so many movies, so many festivals, and so many awards going on, each judged with each other, like your work is worse than others and that's not fair. How can you tell what's best and what's worst from these awards? We're talking about art.

Thought is more important than art. To revere art and have no understanding of the process that forces it into existence, is finally not even to understand what art is.

But really, it was reading that led me to writing. And in particular, reading the American classics like Twain who taught me at an early age that ordinary lives of ordinary people can be made into high art.

Every great work of art has two faces, one toward its own time and one toward the future, toward eternity.

The first mistake of art is to assume that it's serious.

All humanity is passion; without passion, religion, history, novels, art would be ineffectual.

What is art? Nature concentrated.

Passion is universal humanity. Without it religion, history, romance and art would be useless.

The art of motherhood involves much silent, unobtrusive self-denial, an hourly devotion which finds no detail too minute.

I refuse to confide and don't like it when people write about art.
