The youth of an art is like the youth of anything else its most interesting period. When it has come to the knowledge of good and evil it is stronger but we care less about it.
I realised the bohemian life was not for me. I would look around at my friends living like starving artists and wonder 'Where's the art?' They weren't doing anything. And there was so much interesting stuff to do so much fun to be had... maybe I could even quit renting.
Perhaps it's good for one to suffer. Can an artist do anything if he's happy? Would he ever want to do anything? What is art after all but a protest against the horrible inclemency of life?
When that shutter clicks anything else that can be done afterward is not worth consideration.
Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.
In art the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.
People can inhabit anything. And they can be miserable in anything and ecstatic in anything. More and more I think that architecture has nothing to do with it. Of course that's both liberating and alarming.
It is impossible as impossible as to raise the dead to restore anything that has ever been great or beautiful in architecture. That which I have insisted upon as the life of the whole that spirit which is given only by the hand and eye of the workman can never be recalled.
Every man's work whether it be literature or music or pictures or architecture or anything else is always a portrait of himself.
Generalised anger and frustration is something that gets you in the studio and gets you to work - though it's not necessarily evident in anything that's finished.
I don't think your ability to fight has anything to do with how big you are. It's to do with how much anger is in you.
It's a joke to think that anyone is one thing. We're all such complex creatures. But if I'm going to be a poster child for anything anger's a gorgeous emotion. It gets a bad rap but it can make great changes happen.
Anger: an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.
A wonderful emotion to get things moving when one is stuck is anger. It was anger more than anything else that had set me off roused me into productivity and creativity.
He that would be angry and sin not must not be angry with anything but sin.
Never do anything when you are in a temper for you will do everything wrong.
Usually when people are sad they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry they bring about a change.
Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.
I want to buy my mom a house I want my family to never have to worry about anything. And I just want to have an amazing career in music because I love to do it.
I will always be the way I was a couple years ago before anything happened. And that's to my parents' credit my amazing parents who have been around me my whole life and raised me right. I'm very happy with what has happened so far.
What would be a show that I would rescue? If I could bring anything back it would be 'The Carol Burnett Show'. Tim Conway is just... I just watched him so many times do stuff over and over. He's just so amazing.
You know I was a kid when I went into 'Coronation Street' and I had an amazing time. I got some fantastic opportunities from Corrie and from 'Soapstar' and I'd never say they did anything other than help me.
And my first film was Carnal Knowledge another amazing experience largely because of Mike Nichols who would tell me you can't do anything wrong because you're doing everything right.
At 13 I realized that I could fix anything electronic. It was amazing I could just do it. I started a business repairing radios. It grew to be one of the largest in Philadelphia.
