I say that the art of sculpture is eight times as great as any other art based on drawing, because a statue has eight views and they must all be equally good.
I do not know what evil is when it comes to art. I only know what is good art and what is bad art.
Understanding is a form of blindness. Good art, I think, can never be understood.
Only a bad artist thinks he has a good idea. A good artist does not need anything.
Respect is one of the greatest expressions of love. If other people try to write your story, it means they don't respect you. They consider that you're not a good artist who can write your own story, even though you were born to write your own story.
Good art should elicit a response of 'Huh? Wow!' as opposed to ‘Wow! Huh?'
I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say "he feels deeply, he feels tenderly".
It seems like the big difference between good art and so-so art lies somewhere in the art's heart's purpose, the agenda of the consciousness behind the text. It's got something to do with love, with having the discipline to talk out of the part of yourself that can love instead of the part that just wants to be loved.
I like connecting with people, and that's what good art is, a point of connection. There's nothing better, on stage or on film, than feeling like you've achieved that.
Great art - or good art - is when you look at it, experience it and it stays in your mind. I don't think conceptual art and traditional art are all that different.
Make copies, young man, many copies. You can only become a good artist by copying the masters.
Good art and a good life answers questions. Great art and a great life asks questions.
All that matters on the stage is good art.
Ultimately, it comes down to taste. It comes down to trying to expose yourself to the best things that humans have done and then try to bring those things into what you're doing. Picasso had a saying: good artists copy, great artists steal. And we have always been shameless about stealing great ideas, and I think part of what made the Macintosh great was that the people working on it were musicians and poets and artists and zoologists and historians who also happened to be the best computer scientists in the world.
I think Taylor Swift is a really good artist. I feel like her personality shines through everything she does, her music, her fashion, her style. She won Album of the Year, and she’s a really good writer. I’m a song writer so I respect artists who write their own songs. She won Album of the Year when she was 18 or something like that so, I think she’s dope.
Most good art is left wing. It's a moot point whether there is any good right-wing art.
There's good art and there's bad art. A lot of action films are bad art, but Paul Greengrass showed us with the Bourne films that it's possible to make an action film with a political, social conscience.
But I'm interested in the Barnes Collection in Philadelphia. I hear there are some of the worst Matisses there. I like seeing bad art by good artists. It's inspiring. I'm able to identify with them. It makes them real.
All good art cannot help but confront denial on its way to truth.
If it's good art, it's good.
To be a good artist, you have to serve the work of art and allow it to be what it is supposed to be.
It's that same quality I've been talking about. It's neither contrived, nor surprising and smart, not baffling, not witty, not interesting, not cynical, it can't be planned and it probably can't even be described. It's just good.
Some of modern engineering is necessary to good art. But I think of myself is a cultural artist.
All good art is about something deeper than it admits.
All good art has contained both abstract and surrealist elements, just as it has contained both classical and romantic elements - order and surprise, intellect and imagination, conscious and unconscious. BOTH SIDES of the artist's personality must play their part.
