Quotes about art
art book wife
I like to be surrounded by books. My wife Evelyn has a Ph.D. in comparative literature, so we have a lot of her Spanish and German literature books which are wasted on me, plus a lot of novels and books on art and architecture shared by us both. Evelyn used to edit an art magazine called 'FMR,' so we have a common interest in design. David Chipperfield

art book thinking
Casting is really a black art. It's a huge part of directing and it's the most invisible. It's one that people don't really think about or talk about.

It's all your own experience and your own sensibility and your own intuition. David Cronenberg
