I never know what I'm going to put on the canvas. The canvas paints itself. I'm just the middleman.

Peter Max

Cinemascope has become synonymous with 'epic,' and absolutely if you're shooting armies and certain kinds of vast landscapes, you do want that panoramic canvas to work on. But if you look at art history there's not a whole lot of epic paintings that are in that aspect ratio.

Robert Eggers

The canvas upon which the artist paints is the spectator's mind.

Okakura Kakuzo

As an artist, all I need is my paints and brushes - and someone to drag me away when the canvas is done

Pablo Picasso

When I have a day off, I won't spend it at a Hollywood party. I'd rather be at home with paints and a blank canvas.

Viggo Mortensen

The painter paints his brushes black, Through the canvas runs a crack, Portrait of the pain never answers back...

Phil Ochs

A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence.

Leopold Stokowski

Just as I work with paints, brushes, and canvas, I work with the light, pieces of glass and chemistry.

Man Ray

White... is not a mere absence of colour; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as fierce as red, as definite as black... God paints in many colours; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

The heart is an artist that paints over what profoundly disturbs it, leaving on the canvas a less dark, less sharp version of the truth.

Dean Koontz

You hold in your hand the camel's-hair brush of a painter of Life. You stand before the vast white canvas of Time. The paints are your thoughts, emotions and acts.

Wilferd Peterson

I'm struggling with what is epic. People decided I was epic - if by epic, do you mean a big, heavy book? 'David Copperfield' is a big book - is it epic? Amount of time covered, length, drama, or story - that's the real appeal - if the story is long you have a better chance of becoming more connected.

Patrick Rothfuss

We've been given this great gift, this huge canvas of these beautiful books by George Martin, and the idea of telling this whole epic through to the end is incredibly compelling.

D. B. Weiss

Brings [O'Brian's] achievement to a new height....Such is O'Brian's power to possess the imagination that I found I was living in his world as much as my own, wanting to know what happens next. That is the real test. Any contemporary novelist should recognize in Patrick O'Brian a Master of the Art.

Alan Judd

No one would want to pay a penny for an empty canvas by me. But it would be quite another if the empty canvas were signed by a great artist. I would be surprised if an empty canvas by Picasso or Matisse signed and inscribed with the words, 'I wanted to paint such and such on this canvas, but did not do so,' would not fetch thousands... After all, with an empty canvas, the possibilities are limitless, and so perhaps is the cash.

Semir Zeki

I'm Brian a lot more than I'm Paul Walker, which is awesome. When I hear, 'Hey Paul Walker!' my hair stands up on the back of my neck. It's uncomfortable. But when I hear, 'It's Brian!' it's cool. I like Brian.

Paul Walker
