Art & Creativity Quote by Lisa Bonet

"My life is art. Its how I express God"

About this Quote

Bonet’s line lands like a refusal to separate the sacred from the seen. “My life is art” isn’t just a glamorous way of saying she’s creative; it’s a boundary claim. She’s rejecting the idea that art is a product you clock into, then set down when the camera stops. For an actress whose public image has long been a tug-of-war between projection and privacy, the phrase reads as self-defense: if her life is the artwork, outsiders don’t get to edit it into a palatable storyline.

The second sentence sharpens the stakes. “It’s how I express God” is pointedly personal, not doctrinal. Bonet isn’t preaching a religion; she’s naming a practice. God here functions less like a set of rules and more like a source frequency - something felt, pursued, interpreted. That’s why the quote works: it flips the usual hierarchy. Instead of God authorizing art, art becomes the language capable of holding whatever “God” means to her. She’s claiming spiritual agency in an industry that often treats actresses as vessels for someone else’s vision.

There’s subtext in the grammar, too: the missing apostrophe in “Its” (whether casual or quoted loosely) subtly matches the sentiment. This is not a polished manifesto; it’s lived. The line sits comfortably in the late-20th-century celebrity-spirituality landscape, but it’s less “vibes” than insistence: her choices, aesthetics, and reinventions are not phases to be judged. They’re devotion, rendered in motion.
