I have a quiet and an artistic side that many people don’t know of.
I never start anything with a really overt, political, or even exactly artistic mission statement.
I don’t think that artists of any kind would or could sacrifice their artistic freedom by being more responsible with their influence on people, especially young people.
I cannot belong to a nonprofit organization because when you receive grants, you have to make such great compromises with your artistic plans.
I’m wary of artistic directors who say, ‘Here is my vision’, because it’s empirical. Basically it’s about who you work with and what plays you put on; the vision comes out of that.

I dont have a problem with taking photos on phones as they are pretty good quality now. But if you are really interested in creating more artistic images, it would be worth exploring a proper camera at some point!
Fame was never something I was seeking in my artistic journey. It’s to be used as a tool for an artist to break open doors and keep creating. That’s how I enjoyed fame in ’74; it was not just for the emptiness of being famous.
Films are made for audience’s appreciation but films are also made for artistic satisfaction.
Privacy is important to me. But it’s not just about sticking two fingers up and saying I don’t want anyone to know my business. It’s an artistic choice. I think that for any actor to convince their audience that they have completely inhabited a character requires a certain level of anonymity.
There is so much to be celebrated about mental illness. I do believe that there is something to be said about the truly artistic, the truly brilliant, those of us who have been ‘touched by fire’ that should be celebrated, not stigmatized.

A win by an unsound combination, however showy, fills me with artistic horror.
I’d say my artistic bent definitely came from my father, who was a trial lawyer. And if you’re smart, you know that a trial lawyer isn’t that different from an actor. He was a poet as well.

For artistic fulfillment I prefer to work live. For career advancement, I go to the media.
I read a very romantic book when I was young, when I was in college: Rilke’s ‘Letters to a Young Poet.’ And I’ve always felt that if you are in any kind of an artistic, creative endeavor, and you feel there’s something else you can do for a living and be happy, I think you should do something else.

I think for anyone who follows the ‘artistic life,’ a certain amount of selfishness and self-involvement is part of the package. You’re probably already disregarding a certain material life you could have.
I am very lucky that I get to go to work and laugh all day for my day job, and then go home and torture my artistic self.
People believe that art and science are two distinct realms. It is far from the truth because, if you look at science from a microscope or from a different lens, you can see the beauty in science. It is very artistic.
I choose films for their artistic value. I don’t need a mansion or a Jaguar. When I leave this Earth, I won’t take any money with me. All I will leave behind will be my art.
But there’s a difference between having artistic interests and being psychotic. That’s more than a fine line of differentiation, and I do see that a bit too much.

Anybody who goes searching can find enough artistic things I’ve done that nobody can ever say I sold out.
I’m accused constantly of having ‘no signature.’ That’s the big artistic demerit. You can’t tell a Wyler film from another man’s film just by looking at it.
The survival of artistic modes in which we recognize ourselves, identify ourselves and place ourselves will survive as long as humanity survives.
A theatre, a literature, an artistic expression that does not speak for its own time has no relevance.
Martial arts is self-growth. It’s artistic impression. It’s self-defense… it doesn’t have any place in politics.
Art is subjective and, as an artiste, if our artistic work is not appreciated by the majority, it hurts.
My movies are important on an economic basis, on an artistic basis.
Inside, I’ve got a real purist desire and dream about the music. I like the idea of being able to carve out a kind of magical, colourful, artistic, inspirational life. And the reality just turns out to be quite different, working with the business to bring this thing you have created into the world.
My father was the artistic one. At a very young age, my father realised I had a strong voice and made me learn Hindustani vocal. I was five. I have Dad to thank for introducing me to the finer things in life.
I am interested in things happening around me, and I need to understand what’s going on in other artistic sectors like music and literature.

I’m an artistic kind of person. I draw. I’ve drawn my whole life. When you have an imaginative mind, I think the artistic form manifests itself in different ways. When I was younger, I used to draw murals for people.

If you forget the words to your own song, you can always claim artistic license. Forget the words to the national anthem, and you’re screwed.
I felt that needed to be addressed: the idea that anything a man tries to do properly or thoroughly is dismissed as either metrosexual or OCD. But why can’t you be practical and artistic at the same time, which was considered perfectly normal in the Renaissance?
To be able to make decisions and see them come to fruition and feel the excitement around them, what it generates within the company, how the artists get motivated – that’s the most rewarding part; feeling I can be a catalyst for an artistic experience for our artists and for the public.
I think what we do best, in the artistic world, are the things where we’re handicapped.
The first time with artistic endeavors is, if it’s working, it was your idea, and if it’s not, it’s somebody else’s idea.
