art ideas interesting
The whole reason one wants to do lower budget films is because the lower the budget, the bigger the ideas, the bigger the themes, the more interesting the art.
art lying ancient
Always make your work be personal. And, you never have to lie... There is something we know that's connected with beauty and truth. There is something ancient. We know that art is about beauty, and therefore it has to be about truth.
art cost making-money
But who said art has to cost money? And therefore, who says artists have to make money?
art film aspire
So much of the art of film is to do less. To aspire to do less.
team artist wire
The only TV I would be interested in exploring would be live television. There's no substitute for a team of artists performing at their peak live when failure is possible. It's a high-wire act. That excites me.
beautiful girl art
The great hope is that people who wouldn't normally make films will be making them. Suddenly, one day some little fat girl in Ohio is going to be the new Mozart and make a beautiful film with her father's camera and for once the so called professionalism about movies will be destroyed forever - and it will really become an art form.
art luck talent
Art depends on luck and talent.
movie art men
Movies are the art form most like man's imagination.
art thinking creative
I don't think there's any artist of any value who doesn't doubt what they're doing.
artist trying modern-life
That's part of the requirement for me to be an artist is that you're trying to share your personal existence with others and trying to illuminate modern life, trying to understand life.
art sex children
There can't be art without risk. It's like saying No Sex, and then expecting there to be children.
beautiful art risk
An essential element of any art is risk. If you don't take a risk then how are you going to make something really beautiful, that hasn't been seen before?
badly family iq low
I was always the black sheep of the family and always told that I was dumb, and I had a low IQ and did badly in school.
people
My company and people think I'm wacky when I have an idea... I know if I have an idea, no one will want to go through it. But if I persist, people will go through it.
