Famous Quotes & Sayings

Joe Rogan

Comedy is a funny thing, and it's 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. You would never go to a club just to see "Live music," you would go to a jazz club to see jazz, a blues club to see blues, etc. But when you go to see "standup comedy," if you don't know the performers material, you really don't have any idea what you're gonna get.

Jim Woodring

Cartoons are perhaps a bigger part of art than is generally realized, and they influence people in ways that are not always recognized. But creating a monumental work of architecture, or writing a great symphony, is something else. It's a higher order of creation.

Jim Woodring

I don't believe in art like I used to. I believe in something beyond it, something that contains art and everything else. But I just don't quite have the nerve to chuck drawing and painting. Part of it is that I enjoy it too much, and part is that I don't have the courage to renounce the world. I don't want to move out of this nice neighborhood so that I can live in a shed and devote myself to meditating and touching something I can't feel. I'm addicted to the fun of playing in the world.

Jimi Hendrix

The artist draws the people. The whole idea is for people to dig themselves, just mingle around meeting different other people. That's cool.

Jimi Hendrix

We take our last look at the killing noise.

Jim Morrison

O great creator of being grant us one more hour to perform our art and perfect our lives.

Jim Morrison

I'm kind of hooked to the game of art and literature; my heroes are artists and writers.

Eric Fischl

Art should create an experience.

Eric Fischl

There's actually a disdain for the conversation about audience in the art world. Artist to artist, if you say, "What do you think about audience?" they would probably say, "I don't think about audience, I only think about my work," yet the audience is such an important part.

Eric Fischl

If you worry about how good the art is, you're never going to make your own art.

Eric Fischl

What experience has shown me is that it takes your life to become an artist.

Eric Fischl

The saying "the business of art is different than the purpose of art" makes sense, and what are you going to do about that? You have some obligation to get the work out there, you believe in it enough that it should be out in the public, but of course it goes through a system that takes it pretty far away from the reasons you made them.

Eric Fischl

I think of art as a glue, a cultural and social glue. It's one of the means that has served to show us the things we believe in and the things we celebrate; it has served to reinforce our relationship to each other.

Eric Gill

The value of the creative faculty derives from the fact that faculty is the primary mark of man. To deprive man of its exercise is to reduce him to subhumanity.

Eric Gill

Art itself has become an extraordinary thing - the activity of peculiar people - people who become more and more peculiar as their activity becomes more and more extraordinary.

Eric Gill

The artist is not a different kind of person, but every person is a different kind of artist.

Eric Gill

Art is skill, that is the first meaning of the word.

Emmanuel Jal

Sometimes words are not needed, and the simplicity of expressing yourself through an art form is one of the best ways of communication.

Emma Stone

I guess every musician looks forward to a point where they can just kind of make an album that truly is like a nice art album.

Emma Goldman

They do not want to know that centralization is not only the death-knell of liberty, but also of health and beauty, of art and science, all these being impossible in a clock-like, mechanical atmosphere.

Emma Goldman

Publishers, theatrical managers, and critics ask not for the quality inherent in creative art, but will it meet with a good sale, will it suit the palate of the people? Alas, this palate is like a dumping ground; it relishes anything that needs no mental mastication. As a result, the mediocre, the ordinary, the commonplace represents the chief literary output.

Emma Goldman

Art is a part of the rebellion against the realities of its unfulfilled desire.

Emma Watson

I'm very crafty! One time I made a television set out of a cardboard box - Everybody thought it was a lark! This was the beginning of a love affair with the arts.

Emma Watson

If I hadn't done 'Harry Potter,' I would have gone and done years of art. I really do love it, and I'd love to write.

Emma Watson

I didn't see many female politicians on TV. I didn't see women in history textbooks, so I did geography, and art and English literature. But I know I must have been affected by not seeing women represented.

John McPhee

Travel by canoe is not a necessity, and will nevermore be the most efficient way to get from one region to another, or even from one lake to another anywhere. A canoe trip has become simply a rite of oneness with certain terrain, a diversion off the field, an art performed not because it is a necessity but because there is value in the art itself.

John Mellencamp

I went to New York in 1974, to either try to get a record deal, get into the New York Art Student League, or be a dancer. So that was my plan. Some plan. And I had no money.

John Mellencamp

Go to work and be a Hollywood stud, drive your four wheel drive right into the mud.

John Mellencamp

I'm using my art to comment on what I see. You don't have to agree with it.

John James Audubon

Poor France, thy fine climate, rich vineyards, and the wishes of the learned avail nothing; thou art a destitute beggar, and not the powerful friend thou wert represented to me.

John James Audubon

A Mocking Bird regularly resorts to the south angle of a chimney top and salutes us with sweetest notes from the rising of the moon until about midnight.

John James Audubon

To have been torn from the study would have been as death; my time was entirely occupied with art.

John Irving

She was an expert at the art of sudden appearance.
