Films for TV have to be much closer to the book mainly because the objective with a TV movie that translates literature is to get the audience after seeing this version to pick up the book and read it themselves. My attitude is that TV can never really be any form of art because it serves audience expectations.

Gardening is not trivial. If you believe that it is closely examine why you feel that way. You may discover that this attitude has been forced upon you by mass media and the crass culture it creates and maintains. The fact is gardening is just the opposite - it is or should be a central basic expression of human life.

I've never been out with any of the cast of Coronation Street. We're all very close friends so it's very much a professional attitude.

Art is nothing but the expression of our dream the more we surrender to it the closer we get to the inner truth of things our dream-life the true life that scorns questions and does not see them.

I want to serve chess through games books that are works of art. I would like to bring the game closer to many people all over the world.

The only way to avoid being unhappy is to close yourself up in Art and to count for nothing all the rest.

Artschwager's art always involves looking closely at surfaces questions what an object is wants to make you forget the name of the thing you're looking at so that it might mushroom in your mind into something that triggers unexpected infinities.

After its hothouse incubation in the seventies appropriation breathed important new life into art. This life flowered spectacularly over the decades - even if it's now close to aesthetic kudzu.

What an artist is trying to do for people is bring them closer to something because of course art is about sharing. You wouldn't be an artist unless you wanted to share an experience a thought.

Religion and art spring from the same root and are close kin. Economics and art are strangers.

One of the interesting things here is that the people who should be shaping the future are politicians. But the political framework itself is so dead and closed that people look to other sources like artists because art and music allow people a certain freedom.

When you look at Japanese traditional architecture you have to look at Japanese culture and its relationship with nature. You can actually live in a harmonious close contact with nature - this very unique to Japan.

As the plane got closer to Miami I had this terrible feeling he was dying. Maybe he was telling me that he was going. I felt anger panic despair and helplessness.

I think anger and laughter are very close to each other when you think about it.

I have not lost faith in God. I have moments of anger and protest. Sometimes I've been closer to him for that reason.

My heroes are guys like Tom Hanks Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon. These are amazing actors with amazing careers that every actor should aspire to. I'm not saying I'm going to get anywhere close. It's not going to be an easy feat. I'm just in awe of their careers.

Turns out I couldn't catch them - or even get close to them. I realized that sharks are amazing beautiful animals who have absolutely no interest in checking me out.

I auditioned for 'Girls' the fall after I graduated from Yale. The show has been amazing - as close to perfect as it gets!

The good Lord is amazing He opens up doors. I was close to abandoning the dream and He was like 'Hey slow down there buddy.'

Nobody has it all but for me to even come close is amazing.

We are really on top of one another at the moment and I think it is amazing how we stay so close. Maybe that's the test. Why not totally put yourself together rather than always wonder whether you actually like each other?

It's been such a deep and amazing journey for me getting close to John Keats and also I love Shelley and Byron. I mean the thing about the Romantic poets is that they've got the epitaph of romantic posthumously. They all died really young and Keats the youngest of them all.

I'm lucky that my real-life Mom has both a great sense of humor about herself and an amazing ability to slip into complete denial if the subject matter gets a little too close to home.

My brother and Lauren are very close with me and they are in Sun Valley so sometimes I need to go there and feel their presence. And there are times I need to see my bro' alone.
