I think that black people making art, women making art, and certainly black women making art is a disruptive endeavor - and it's one that I enjoy extremely.

Ava DuVernay

I do not think making art alone makes it any better than making it with a team of people.

Olafur Eliasson

Is being burnt a requisite for the making of art? Personally, I don't think it is. But art is poultice for a burn. It is a privilege to have, somewhere within you, a capacity for making something speak from your own seared experience.

Molly Peacock

I honestly think that's one of the greatest motivators of art - the fear of not making great art.

Jason McCoy

To the question, ‘Is the cinema an art?’ my answer is, ‘what does it matter?’... You can make films or you can cultivate a garden. Both have as much claim to being called an art as a poem by Verlaine or a painting by Delacroix… Art is ‘making.’ The art of poetry is the art of making poetry. The art of love is the art of making love... My father never talked to me about art. He could not bear the word.

Jean Renoir

All I really care about is making great music and putting on great shows. I think, to do that, you have to be fearless. It certainly doesn't help to be insecure.

Jake Shears

I don't think I'm craving any more fame. But success and being recognized for making great work all around the world, I think it's a great thing.

John Legend

That's what it's all about - making art is making something live forever. Human beings especially - we can't hold on to them in any way. Painting and art is a way of holding onto things and making things go on through time.

Elizabeth Peyton

Art is only great if it's uncodifiable. If art isn't scaring you, if it's not making you upset, then I don't think it's actually doing anything.

Dale Peck

I think of making love and making art as being very parallel. Even the most amateur attempt can be thrilling.

Julia Cameron

Making of poetry, music, dance and art as culture-making in the service of nation-making. You can find writings that make that purpose for art quite explicit.

Mark McMorris

I think making electronic music isn't much different from writing a book or painting a picture or making a film. It's a creative process, and it's an art form.

Max Joseph

I think with any art making, there's a sense of urgency that you have for people to understand you.

Michelle Zauner

During the entire process of making this film I never thought about whom I was making it for. I always thought that the film was for me, but I didn't think of any of that. I just did what I thought I had to do. I didn't think, "This is what children are going to think" or "This is what adults will understand."

Alex Abreu

It's hard not to think of Jack Ford when you're making a Western. Hard not to think of him when you're making any picture.

Howard Hawks

I really don't think about making fashion statements. Just like any other woman or girl, I like to dress up. I think I'm fortunate enough to be dressed by some of India's best designers and to have the opportunity to wear their wonderful creations. But I have never made a conscious effort to try and be a fashion icon or something.
