art real nice
That’s one of the nice things about writing, or any art; if the thing’s real, it just lives.
art people humanity
When you start putting a higher value on works of art than people, you’re forfeiting your humanity.
life art tvs
Does art imitate life, or does life imitate TV?
jobs artist sight
As an artist, you are always striving toward an ultimate achievement but never seem to reach it. You shoot a film, and the result could have always been better. You try again, and fail once more. In some ways I find it enjoyable. You never lose sight of your goal. I don’t do my job to make money or to break box office records, I simply try things out. What would happen if I were to achieve perfection at some point? What would I do then?
thinking artist substance
I never considered myself an artist. I aspire to be an artist, but I never thought I had the depth or substance or gift to be an artist. I do think I have some talent, but it doesn't go as far as being an artist.
artist glasses years
The two biggest myths about me are that I'm an intellectual, because I wear these glasses, and that I'm an artist because my films lose money. Those two myths have been prevalent for many years.
art
None of the arts are any good unless you really are great at them.
meaningful artist glasses
[...] I've come to the conclusion that the artist can not justify life or come up with a cogent reason as to why life is meaningful, but the artist can provide you with a cold glass of water on a hot day.
writing artist perfect
[Stanley] Kubrick was a great artist and a perfectionist. He always wanted the exact right thing. He did a million takes. Everything had to be perfect. I'm an imperfectionist. I don't really care that much about the work. I write quickly. I'm careless. I shoot carelessly.
art real always-trying
You know how you're always trying to get things to come out perfect in art because it's real difficult in life
funny life art
Life doesn't imitate art, it imitates bad television.
thinking artist people
People think I'm an artist because my films lose money.
art wind two
You can't control life. It doesn't wind up perfectly. Only-only art you can control. Art and masturbation. Two areas in which I am an absolute expert.
witty art jobs
The artist's job is not to succumb to despair but to find an antidote for the emptiness of existence.
