"I've been working with photography for many years"
Leonard Nimoy, Actor
"But if you're talking about fine art work, then I think you have to ask yourself some pretty deep questions about why it is you want to take pictures, and what it is you want to say"
Leonard Nimoy, Actor
"I'm attracted to images that come from a personal exploration of a subject matter. When they have a personal stamp to them, then I think it becomes identifiable"
Leonard Nimoy, Actor
"My dream concept is that I have a camera and I am trying to photograph what is essentially invisible. And every once in a while I get a glimpse of her and I grab that picture"
Leonard Nimoy, Actor
"I became involved in photography when I was about thirteen years old"
Leonard Nimoy, Actor
"Most of my images have been done in-studio, under very controlled lighting conditions. There have been a few that have been shot in nature, but even then they were shot almost exclusively at night, and again, under controlled lighting conditions"
Leonard Nimoy, Actor
"I have always preferred the reflection of the life to life itself"
Francois Truffaut, Director
"That's the most difficult issue for me... to find a subject that holds my interest long enough that I'm prepared to go to work and spend the time and energy to shoot the subject"
Leonard Nimoy, Actor
"For me it's all about personal vision; is there something about a subject that uniquely speaks to me?"
Leonard Nimoy, Actor
"That pleasure which is at once the most pure, the most elevating and the most intense, is derived, I maintain, from the contemplation of the beautiful"
Edgar Allan Poe, Poet
"The art of a people is a true mirror to their minds"
Jawaharlal Nehru, Leader
"Art is the symbol of the two noblest human efforts: to construct and to refrain from destruction"
Evelyn Waugh, Author
"Almost all crime is due to the repressed desire for aesthetic expression"
Evelyn Waugh, Author
"Genius is essentially creative; it bears the stamp of the individual who possesses it"
Madame de Stael, Writer
"I would venture to warn against too great intimacy with artists, as it is very seductive and a little dangerous"
Queen Victoria, Royalty
"Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears"
Edgar Allan Poe, Poet
"You might say that when you step inside, you're entering a honorific space, but that's something totally different than experiencing it. And in architecture the experience comes first. That has the deepest effect on us"
Thom Mayne, Architect
"The huge problem in our society is the enormous ignorance of the ideas that underlie modern art"
Thom Mayne, Architect
"So I am totally aware that when I defend the autonomy of art I'm going counter to my own development. It's more an instinctive reaction, meant to protect the private aspect of the work, the part I am most interested in and which nowadays is at risk in our culture"
Thom Mayne, Architect
"So at a time in which the media give the public everything it wants and desires, maybe art should adopt a much more aggressive attitude towards the public. I myself am very much inclined to take this position"
Thom Mayne, Architect
"Scientific reality is the modern human condition, and you can see that in the symbolic nature of my work"
Thom Mayne, Architect
"It's too simplistic to advance the notion of the autonomy of art as a reason for turning away from the public. You can have autonomy and simultaneously have connections with the social and political world"
Thom Mayne, Architect
"I'm often called an old-fashioned modernist. But the modernists had the absurd idea that architecture could heal the world. That's impossible. And today nobody expects architects to have these grand visions any more"
Thom Mayne, Architect
"Descriptions of my work depress me. They make me feel pinned down!"
Thom Mayne, Architect
"You are the most powerful cultural force in the world"
William J. Clinton, President
"The nice thing about the gallery shows is that without having to pay any money you can just go and see it"
Yoko Ono, Artist
"Everybody's an artist. Everybody's God. It's just that they're inhibited"
Yoko Ono, Artist
"Artists are going to be the metronome of this society"
Yoko Ono, Artist
"Nature is garrulous to the point of confusion, let the artist be truly taciturn"
Paul Klee, Artist
"Art is not a pastime but a priesthood"
Jean Cocteau, Director
"It's a different way of getting across an emotion. You're trying to get it across to the animator because the animator is inspired by the voicetrack in terms of how to animate the character"
Dan Castellaneta, Actor
"I am an artist, art has no color and no sex"
Whoopi Goldberg, Actress
"Art produces ugly things which frequently become more beautiful with time. Fashion, on the other hand, produces beautiful things which always become ugly with time"
Jean Cocteau, Director
"What I would do is, when I was younger, I would draw in a sketch book something that happened in my life, and then write a little something on the side about what happened or what the story"
Robert Redford, Actor
"The painter should not paint what he sees, but what will be seen"
Paul Klee, Artist
"He has found his style when he cannot do otherwise"
Paul Klee, Artist
"It's an honor putting art above politics. Politics can be seductive in terms of things reductive to the soul"
Robert Redford, Actor
"Usually I like to improvise. Sometimes, depending on the nature of the piece, I like to improvise because I think it brings certain freshness and a reality to it, as long as it doesn't go too far out of the box"
Robert Redford, Actor
"I used my imagination to make the grass whatever color I wanted it to be"
Whoopi Goldberg, Actress
"When looking at any significant work of art, remember that a more significant one probably has had to be sacrificed"
