A verbal art like poetry is reflective it stops to think. Music is immediate it goes on to become.

The art world can be very intimidating because it's just so vast. You talk to people who are really clued in to all the young artists and coming into it you're never going to be able to catch up immediately even though there's pressure to.

What the mass media offers is not popular art but entertainment which is intended to be consumed like food forgotten and replaced by a new dish.

Kinkade's paintings are worthless schmaltz and the lamestream media that love him are wrong. However I'd love to see a museum mount a small show of Kinkade's work. I would like the art world and the wider world to argue about him in public out in the open.

I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.

The mediator of the inexpressible is the work of art.

Every one who has a heart however ignorant of architecture he may be feels the transcendent beauty and poetry of the mediaeval churches.

The nice thing about anger is that as an emotion it's strong enough to unplug me from the comedian's mind for a minute and just be a frustrated member of the citizenry.

Wise anger is like fire from a flint: there is great ado to get it out and when it does come it is out again immediately.

I realized that if my thoughts immediately affect my body I should be careful about what I think. Now if I get angry I ask myself why I feel that way. If I can find the source of my anger I can turn that negative energy into something positive.

I think that we're in a really amazing time where there are really a lot of really fantastic female actresses and comedians. I imagine there's just a lot of opportunity for women to have powerful roles. Or it's just that there's more women writing TV. Women tend to maybe write strong women.

John was the smartest and most amazing comedian I've ever worked with. I think more than teaching me about acting or comedy he taught me about life and the love of people and respect of people.

For the past 21 years I've been privileged to be part of an amazing organization called the International Women's Media Foundation.

Dick Van Dyke was my first idol. He's an amazing physical comedian like a classic clown but also very smart and not afraid to show vulnerability.

If government and media and all of us in the Australian tribe got together and the rock industry we'd just be the greatest cultural force the world has ever seen - we're such an amazing race.

When Maurice touched a keyboard it was like something from a movie magical. He would always give you something from a movie and you'd go what did you just play... immediately inspirational writings amazing. That's what we're going to miss.

Twitter is the most amazing medium for a comedy writer. I can't get in every idea I want on the show no matter how hard I try to bully the other writers so it's a way of me getting out other comic ideas and immediately getting feedback.

Tell me why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognise our own strengths our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?

Glasgow's not a media center. When you're there when you're hanging about you feel quite detached from musical movements or fashions or anything like that. You do feel quite alone in a good way.

Well I'm not a member of the permanent political establishment and I've learned quickly these last few days that if you're not a member in good standing of the Washington elite then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone.

Saving faith is an immediate relation to Christ accepting receiving resting upon Him alone for justification sanctification and eternal life by virtue of God's grace.

The desire to get married which - I regret to say I believe is basic and primal in women - is followed almost immediately by an equally basic and primal urge - which is to be single again.

Maybe back in the day you didn't need to be the greatest looking to be on TV and you didn't need to speak the best but in this day and age I think you need to be the package. You need to look the part for your sponsors you need to be able to speak the part for the media and to big CEOs.

People quit on jobs. They quit on marriages. They quit on school. There's an immediacy of this day and age that doesn't lend itself to being committed to anything.
