art thinking ego
I think it's pretentious to create art just for the sake of stroking the artists ego.
art thinking students
I don't think I'm in any position to call myself a martial artist. I'm a student of the martial arts.
art hurt wall
I like druggy downtown kids who spray paint walls and trains. I like their lack of training, their primitive technique. I think it hurts you, when you stay too long in school.
art media bored
Kill them now, cause I need some kicks. I need some kicks, I'm getting bored.
art media age
The currents rage so deep upon us, this is the age of video violence.
art modern choreography
I always thought martial arts was the most modern choreography we could have right now, and I always wanted to put it to music.
art people creative
I was a product of Andy Warhol's Factory. All I did was sit there and observe these incredibly talented and creative people who were continually making art, and it was impossible not to be affected by that.
memories crazy artist
To wish for the crazy times one last time and freeze it in the memory of a camera is the least a great artist can do.
mean artist want
I'm an artist and that means I can be as egotistical as I want to be.
art i-can
I can concentrate on my art.
art reality vanity
How can anybody learn anything from an artwork when the piece of art only reflects the vanity of the artist and not reality?
work
Raymond Chandler managed to write about L.A. his whole career. Should I keep going writing about New York? Is that what I should be doing? Songwriting doesn't work that way.
years week beats
My week beats your year.
absurdly double great harmonies listen parts ready seemed unusual ways
He's a great guy, absurdly talented, and he seemed ready to sing. It's these parts he can come up with, these ways of double tracking, these really unusual harmonies - I could listen to Antony all day.
