Diplomacy is the art of saying "Nice doggie" until you can find a rock.

I believe very strongly, and have fought since many years ago - at least over 30 years ago - to get architecture not just within schools, but architecture talked about under history, geography, science, technology, art.

Comedy is really not like any other art form in that it's very specialized and varied in it's content, but generic in it's title.

Men's magazines often feature pictures of naked ladies. Women's magazines also often feature pictures of naked ladies. This is because the female body is a beautiful work of art, while the male body is hairy and lumpy and should not be seen by the light of day.

What I love about new technology is that it really pushes the art. It really pushes it in a way that you can't imagine until you come up with the idea. It's idea-based. You can do anything.

Art is contemplation. It is the pleasure of the mind which searches into nature and which there divines the spirit of which nature herself is animated.

Sculpture is the art of the hole and the lump.

The artist must create a spark before he can make a fire and before art is born, the artist must be ready to be consumed by the fire of his own creation.

Art is something that opens up and enhances your emotions and that's what I like to think I'm doing.

Art, well good art at least, takes you to a place you go during the experience of it, and then after you experience it you are different.

Everyone in those days expected that art students were wild, licentious characters. We didn't know how to be, but we sure were anxious to learn.

Some people have been kind enough to call me a fine artist. I've always called myself an illustrator. I'm not sure what the difference is. All I know is that whatever type of work I do, I try to give it my very best. Art has been my life.

I learned more from my mother than from all the art historians and curators who have informed me about technical aspects of art history and art appreciation over the years.

I think of art as the highest level of creativity. To me, it is one of the greatest sources of enjoyment.

I owe much to mother. She had an expert's understanding, but also approached art emotionally.
