To this day I am the least materialistic person I know because my father didn't raise me to just go out and buy this or that car. The only reason I wanted to make money as an actor was because I'm passionate about food!

There was a time in my life when I thought I had everything - millions of dollars mansions cars nice clothes beautiful women and every other materialistic thing you can imagine. Now I struggle for peace.

I'm not materialistic. I believe in presents from the heart like a drawing that a child does.

Economy is the basis of society. When the economy is stable society develops. The ideal economy combines the spiritual and the material and the best commodities to trade in are sincerity and love.

It is difficult to make our material condition better by the best law but it is easy enough to ruin it by bad laws.

During the 80s and 90s we all became consumed with ourselves. In the 21st century we've come back to simpler times. People are struggling economically and this has forced them to scale back the material aspects of their lives and realise the beauty of finding the simple joy in being with the people we love.

That which you create in beauty and goodness and truth lives on for all time to come. Don't spend your life accumulating material objects that will only turn to dust and ashes.

My agent says that I'm a 'repeat business guy.' If you hire me to come do a movie I'll be on time know all my material be ready to go have a good attitude. I'm here to work so I get hired over and over again by the same producers. If you just be a team player on set you can work so much more often.

Nothing. We're all friends and friendly. So when the cameras go down depending on the mood or the nature of the material we're dealing with there's usually a kind of a prevailing light attitude that's floating around.

An attitude to life which seeks fulfillment in the single-minded pursuit of wealth - in short materialism - does not fit into this world because it contains within itself no limiting principle while the environment in which it is placed is strictly limited.

In an era ruled by materialism and unstable geopolitics art must be restored to the center of public education.

I have a soft spot for art that in terms of subject matter and material is in bad taste.

Film will only became an art when its materials are as inexpensive as pencil and paper.

Art never improves but... the material of art is never quite the same.

When art dresses in worn-out material it is most easily recognized as art.

You begin with the possibilities of the material.

What makes photography a strange invention is that its primary raw materials are light and time.

Works of art in my opinion are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order and that is why though I don't believe that only art matters I do believe in Art for Art's sake.

It's my goal to make a building as immaterial as possible. Architecture is a very material thing. It takes a lot of resources so why not eliminate what you don't need as long as you're able to achieve the same result?

To me a building - if it's beautiful - is the love of one man he's made it out of his love for space materials things like that.

Building art is a synthesis of life in materialised form. We should try to bring in under the same hat not a splintered way of thinking but all in harmony together.

It's amazing what you can get on open source now if you actually use the right search engines to find the material.

It was at Bell Labs that I first made direct contact with real semiconductor experts and thus began to fully understand what amazing materials they were and what they could do.

If you have only 95 minutes of material make an only 95-minute movie. Amazing how often that's forgotten.
