Movies are not an art form where you get to kind of sit in your art gallery and paint, you know? You don’t do that. You’re spending a lot of somebody else’s money.
Often, when cheating happens, we rush to place blame solely on one person – either the person who did the cheating, or more insidiously, if it happened to us, we blame ourselves for not being ‘good enough’ to keep them around. But putting it all on one person doesn’t paint the entire picture.
I can be a guy the guys can rely on, an anchor in the paint, whether it’s blocking shots or being on that help side.
I draw, paint, crochet, sew, embroider – anything productive I can do with my hands while watching Netflix.
Like an opera singer, I am able to sing out my song in paint.
Of course you can still paint landscape – it’s not been worn out.
Well, I am not interested in the kind of expression that you have when you paint a painting with brush strokes. It’s all right, but it’s already done and I want to do something new.
I’ve always had a certain fascination. It’s basically paint what you know, and this is what I grew up with.
My favorite moment is when someone says, ‘I like ‘Unleashed.’ ‘Now You See Me’ is so much fun.’ That’s what I want to do: smart, fun and big movies. I cannot lie, I love working with those big paint brushes. I have a blast doing these movies.
I took it upon myself to paint a better picture of rural life and what it is all about.
I paint what I like, when I like and where I like.
I think you have to control the materials to an extent, but it’s important to let the materials have a kind of power for themselves; like the natural power of gravity, if you are painting on a wall, it makes the paint trickle and it drips; there is no reason to fight that.
Being a big guy, I’ve got to shore up the paint a lot more. It’s my job.
The minute there’s a map, there is no art. Paint by numbers is not art. Paint by numbers is a mechanical activity.
I can assure you that it feels even stranger to me than it probably does to you to have seen so much written about me when I have done so little to paint a picture of myself.
Knowing how to paint and to use one’s colors rightly has not any connection with originality. This originality consists in properly expressing your own impressions.
We must always take from nature what we paint and always choose the most beautiful things.
Clive Barker is just genius, and he’s incredibly gifted in so many different ways. He can write and direct and paint and do all these different things, and he can do them all extremely well.
I decided that what I really wanted to do was go off and paint.
A joke is just a paintbrush. It takes someone funny to paint something beautiful.
Before I paint someone, I always ask, ‘How much examination can your body take?’ ‘How much do you want me to see?’
Definitely, my whole life I’ve played as a point guard. I’ve tried to get in the paint, and I’ve tried to develop for others.
Even the Impressionists, the most innovative artists of their time, sought to paint realistically. They believed that their freer way of portraying the visible world was truer to life than the literal realism of the ‘salon painters’ who dominated French art throughout the 19th century.
I’m good in the garden and I can do the cooking, ironing and cleaning, but I can’t hang wallpaper or paint.
I have continued to paint; my father – who was savaged by the critics – continued to paint until practically the last week of his life.
We lived in my father’s studio, so there were the brushes and the pencils and the paint. So it would – it was very natural for me to want to paint, I think, and it was never a question.
When I was 10, I had dyed red hair, and I used to paint my nails – I think my mum secretly loved it.
I paint the American scene.
I think a lot of times we think of music as being different from other art forms. You would never ask a sculptor or painter, ‘Go paint this because you’ll get paid more,’ you know what I mean?
I paint, and painting gives me my much needed break from my routine. Painting was a subject in my school, and I developed a liking for the lines and colours and started practising in my free time. It helps me de-stress amidst my hectic shooting schedules.
I paint landscapes, figuratives. I painted all my life. In fact, I started as a commercial artist.
I am not metrosexual. I am not macho. I am normal. I don’t even wear nail paint.
I paint. I still do it every day. I never neglected it. It’s a gift. It’s almost like religion for me. It’s the quickest way for me to become still.
I love color. When I paint, I use a lot of color. I love art that has a vibrancy of color and compositions. I adore the Impressionists, and I’m influenced strongly by them as a self-taught artist.
For me, graffiti means making marks on surfaces using just about anything, be it markers, spray, paint, chalk, lipstick, varnish, ink. Or it can be the result of scratches and incisions. The aim is to maintain the energy created by disturbance or excitement in the street.
I asked Bob Dylan to paint the album cover for ‘Music from Big Pink.’ He said, ‘Yeah, let me see what I can come up with.’
I have to accept my role. I will never kill myself like Vincent Van Gogh. Nor will I paint beautiful water lilies like Monet. I can’t do that. I’m in the idiot role of being a kiddie book person.
We had all these smiley family pictures all over the walls of my house, but I always found those pictures to be odd because we weren’t smiling all the time. I don’t want to paint the picture of a total dysfunctional house, but there were a lot of arguments in that house. A lot of pain.
I paint every day. I really have no hobbies. That’s all I do.
There is a clear interest within ISIS to drag Israel into a war with them. If they do so, they will be able to paint Israel as having an alliance with the states fighting against them.
To make films is as boring as watching paint dry – you usually have to do little tiny bits here and there. You go off waiting for lighting, you come back – the energy dies. You hope you can find someone who can keep it going.
Jimi Hendrix, the Who, the Dead, Zeppelin, the Beatles – I paint to this music all of the time.
I want each and every entire brushstroke to be seen. I want the marks made by the tip of the brush to carry as much meaning as the marks made by the dragging tail end, the part that splits open as the paint pulls away, thins and dries.
Naturally, there are times when every woman likes to be flattered… to feel she is the most important thing in someone’s world. Only a man can paint this picture.
The great thing about being an actor in a film is that you’re able to start knowing exactly where you’re going to finish and really paint something in between. You can work to know the arc you need to build. Whereas in television, it is open-ended, and you’re constantly guessing. There are pros and cons to both.
Actors on stage, you can go from playing a myriad of roles, from Shakespeare to a Eugene O’Neil drama, and it’s the norm. I came up in a world where you’re supposed to be able to do three things very well. Act, sing, dance, paint, do something. The emphasis was on versatility.
Action films can be like watching paint dry. You can just die in the trailer waiting for them to set up a shot, then you go out for a few minutes or an hour of endurance testing.
With a painting, you don’t have to go back and paint it again.
To paint well, I need to be enraptured by my subjects.
When I paint, some things come out, and I don’t know. Maybe it’s because I have such talent as a painter.
A great painter can paint something really complex, but they can crystallize it into something really simple.
I want to paint something that’s gorgeous, something that’s perfect. So that it’s full of sadness.
If an alien race lands on the planet Earth tomorrow and asks me to prove I’m really here, what do I do? What do I give them? What do I tell them? What do I show them? I can’t sing or dance. I can’t paint. I’ve never built anything, and I’ve never contributed anything significant to the human race.
People say, ‘What a discipline, painting so much.’ I say, ‘No, I love it.’ Nothing amuses me as much as my work. To have discipline would be not to paint.
Anyone who has that weird volition to become an actor probably has a weird volition to do lots of other creative things – to write, to play music, to paint, to cook.
I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.
People are really capable if you’re able to give them the confidence to get something done and paint the picture of where we need to go.
I think if you’re a painter, you paint; if you’re a golfer, you golf; if you’re a fisherman, you fish; if you’re a musician, you play music.
What I wanted to do was to paint sunlight on the side of a house.
I don’t think the Lakers could control Tony Parker’s ability to get into the paint, so his health is the key for San Antonio.
Singing has always seemed to me the most perfect means of expression. It is so spontaneous. And after singing, I think the violin. Since I cannot sing, I paint.
I know how to paint… In a way there is a boredom there because a lot of the magic is gone.
