I don't think you can lightly paint a picture. It's an activity I take very seriously.

Howard Hodgkin

I take very seriously the creation process, but I take the red carpet, the dresses with the trains, the hair, and the makeup very lightly.

Daniela Vega

I take my fun very seriously, whether it's playing the drums or acting in comedy bits. The need to be disciplined about it, and not take it lightly, and not be too casual, is something I take deeply to heart.

Max Weinberg

What you do when you paint, you take a brush full of paint, get paint on the picture, and you have faith.

Willem de Kooning

If you want me to explain the picture, if you put it in reality, then the mystery goes away. The situation just catches you and you think it is absurd or mysterious and you just take the picture. You dont want to see the bare reality of what happened. I took the picture as the picture, not as the realistic story of what happened.

Eva Fuka

Every opportunity that comes your way, you can't take lightly. You have to take it very, very seriously, because the opportunities are limited. If you want to keep working, you can't be such an elitist, to say no, that's not good enough, not big enough, not smart enough, whatever.

Chris Klein

I take it very seriously, music. I think it's one of the tools that a director has with which to kind of paint. The right music can sometimes do five pages of scripted dialogue.

Todd Phillips

I think it has something to do with being British. We don't take ourselves as seriously as some other countries do. I think a lot of people take themselves far too seriously; I find that a very tedious attitude.

Joan Collins

If you really want to seriously think about life, and therefore take painting very seriously... and take seriously the joys that it can bring to one, then you want to go to museums. You want to study the great of the past.

Nelson Shanks

Take what you do seriously, but yourself lightly

Ken Blanchard

I think because I'm so naturally happy and unaffected and open, people thought I didn't take the jumping seriously. You're up that high, believe me - you take it very seriously.

Eddie the Eagle

I've certainly always had a very high regard for Botswana and so I paint a very good picture of the country and I've never pretended to be painting an entirely realistic picture.

Alexander McCall Smith

I take it seriously that it's a privilege and honor to be a role model to young girls, both black and white. It's not something I take lightly.

Tamron Hall

The New Lost City Ramblers are a very good comparison, actually. They really took the music seriously, and we take the music very seriously. But we don't take ourselves seriously at all.
