In Hollywood – in Hollywood, you’re as good as your last picture.

The true picture of life as it is, if it could be adequately painted, would show men what they are, and how they might rise, not, indeed to perfection, but one step first, and then another on the ladder.
I do not care to put out any ideas for pictures. They are too valuable and can be appropriated by any art student, defrauding me out of a possible picture.
We live in an image society. Speeches are not what anybody cares about; what they care about is the picture.
The reason why I’ve been keeping private for the longest time ever here, I’ve always wanted to protect my wife’s privacy. I don’t like – I didn’t want to put her picture all over the news. I just wanted to keep her private.
My message to everyone: the next time you hear about migrant children near the border, just picture them as your own. Then think what you would want our government to do.

Intellectuals are good at seeing the big picture. But they are not so good at process.
I maintain that if you’re a novelist and you go into an art museum, you’ll come out a better novelist. And if you paint a picture for an hour you’re a better actor at the end of it.
One does not contemplate it like a picture. The idea of contemplation disappears completely. Simply take note that it’s a bottle rack, or that it’s a bottle rack that has changed its destination… It’s not the visual question of the readymade that counts; it’s the fact that it exists, even.

I have the picture in my mind of how emotional I will feel if I win again.
Painting is seen as picture making, the making of an art object, something that can stand on its own.
The big picture goal is legacy. It’s knowing that when I’m done, what I’ve done has changed the industry in some way and made an impact in some way.
I was saying as a joke the other day that I love film editing, I know how to cut a picture, I think I know how to shoot it, but I don’t know how to light it. And I realize it’s because I didn’t grow up with light. I grew up in tenements.

I’m always in my pajamas, unless I know for a fact that people are taking my picture.
I looked at one little print for a long time. It was called ‘The Landing.’ It showed men tugging on a rope, pulling a boat up onto skids out of the water. The thought occurred to me that I might paint such a picture.
They put a picture of me on a magazine’s cover and wrote ‘Mahima had an accident. She’s got scars all over the face. We can actually call her scarface.’ It still hurts me.

Autobiographies give you the picture of the person behind the image on screen, because that’s never really you.
