I was so impressed with the work we were doing and I was very involved ideologically in photography - that I arranged an exhibition at the College Art Association. The first exhibition I picked the photographs and so on and we had an exhibition in New York.

I went to art school when I was little. I took ballet lessons. I played a little kick ball. I was sort of into everything because I had too much energy and I didn't know where to put it. When I was a preteen, I got into singing, and became really obsessed with it.

But what does interest me is the notion that if you do a lot of work it means there's a potential for other people to understand that a lot of things are possible with a sustained effort and that the broadening of experiences is possible and I think that's all art can be.

My background was art school, documentary director and surfer with a keen interest in thrilling acts of life threatening stupidity.

We have lost the art of sharing and caring.

With the art therapy, as soon as they saw the paper and crayons coming, we couldn't get it out fast enough. And we told them to draw about the tsunami.

Musical practice is too young an art in America to warrant a search for men with a conductor's gift.

After a few months in my parents' basement, I took an apartment near the state university, where I discovered both crystal methamphetamine and conceptual art. Either one of these things are dangerous, but in combination they have the potential to destroy entire civilizations.

My father was invited to play on a television show when I was 17 or 18 that was an early equivalent of educational television, a Sunday afternoon kind of variety art show.

The picture is a self-sufficient work of art. It is not connected to anything outside.

My friend James Cameron and I made three films together - True Lies, The Terminator and Terminator 2. Of course, that was during his early, low-budget, art-house period.

To change your phrase somewhat, I know that I like an art where disparate elements form an entity.

Nothing right can be accomplished in art without enthusiasm.

My imagination can picture no fairer happiness than to continue living for art.

I wish to lead a life free from care, and I see that I shall be unhappy if I cannot always work at my art.
