art important taste
The most important thing in art is taste.
song art writing
I wouldn't say the purpose of making art is to enjoy it necessarily. For me, it happens to be the thing I enjoy the most. I don't even know what the purpose of art is really, I just know that is something that makes me feel satisfied in a way that other things don't. That's all I know, that's why I like to write songs and films or draw. I just like to make things and somehow I find it gives me a feeling of satisfaction that I can't find in other areas of my life.
mean artist people
Putting out commercial pieces and promoting them and trying to sell them to people is not necessarily what it means to be an artist
art fun dressing-up
Making films is great. You've got 100 people around and you're all dressing up and making weird art-it's a fun group activity.
song art dad
Some people feel that it's controversial if I say that because my dad is known as a political artist. But I don't really believe that he was a political artist. I think some of his songs were political, and I think they were incredible because he was able to make art that was political and that wasn't pedantic. But I think he was unique in being able to do that.
art believe trying
I spend my time trying to figure art out. I was brought up to believe that the way one processes information is by making it into art. That's how I live my life.
art invisible form
I like music because it's the only invisible art form.
art thinking views
I think when people try to use their art for political views, I think they're art becomes smaller, less interesting. And so for me, as an artist, I'm trying to speak about things in a universal way and not be pedantic or small-minded and try to convince other people of my political views. But having said that, every day I live in sort of complete terror because of what I read in the newspaper and what is going on in the world. I'm constantly, as I think many of us are, overwhelmed by the sort of, mass psychosis that's occurring.
christian art believe
I don't really believe in political art. I feel in my heart the purpose of art transcends cultural and class and politics. I think something like the Sistine Chapel is something that goes beyond just being a Christian thing. It transcends its Christianity and becomes sort of a universal beauty. And I think that's true of music and art and literature.
artist thinking energy
I have a specific set of, I have a specific sort of negative energies to deal with that might be specific to me, but it definitely something that all artists have to deal with at one point or another. But I think for me, it's just maybe more specific.
art technology rocks
They say rock is dead. Andy [Warhol] said art is dead. God is dead according to Nietzsche. If everything's dead what's alive? Only technology. We're in the era of technology.
came next
There's no single movement out there. It's not like in the '60s, when Revolver came out and that's just it for the next year.
bit wait
For me, songwriting is something I have to do ritually. I don't just wait for inspiration; I try to write a little bit every day.
alien computers music outer
It's kind of like music from outer space. It's alien music. I've been getting into computers a lot, doing a lot of experimenting and sampling.
