Any great art is meant to illuminate the human condition.

Sterling K. Brown

There are no requirements when you're using a particular genre. It's not like the genre is your boss and you have to do what it says. You can make use of the genre any way you want to, as long as you can make it work.

Charlie Jane Anders

If you want to do what you want to do, you cannot work. So art is going to be finished, and this is the will of the Islamic republic: to not have any artists or art and close the doors of all the cinemas and music and everything.

Golshifteh Farahani

Good writing is good writing. In many ways, it’s the audience and their expectations that define a genre. A reader of literary fiction expects the writing to illuminate the human condition, some aspect of our world and our role in it. A reader of genre fiction likes that, too, as long as it doesn’t get in the way of the story.

Rosemary Clement-Moore

I love being an actor, and that's really the bottom line - in any medium, in any genre - and I want to do it.

Chris Klein

I want the audience to think about how many people are hiding in the shadows with the condition. I want the film to take away the stigma of thinking of this as a disease and an illness to be crushed. I want those in the condition to shine and contribute to the human spirit.

Paul Dalio

The art of spirituality is learning to be happy in any condition and in any circumstance. This is the art of love.

Frederick Lenz

Any genre as it's called, I think can be quite reductive in terms of what a film is, because I think there is an eagerness to put in any film, in anybody's work, to give it a genre title and I think as a consequence of that, the film starts to obey the rules of the genre.

Steven Knight

It's really about the work - if you are doing it for the right reasons - really to illuminate the human condition.

Sissy Spacek

The human condition is the human condition, and what we try to do is illuminate the human condition.

Sissy Spacek

Our prep's not going to be any different. It will be optional batting practice like there was today. I don't want any more work. I don't want extra study.

Joe Maddon

I don't want any memorials or a grave which my children would have to look after or feel guilty about. I don't want to leave any trace except for the work I have done.

Naseeruddin Shah

The more accurately one can illuminate a particular human experience, the better the work of art.

Claire Messud

I don't think I am any different from other people. I have the same dreams. I want a family. I want a house. A car. Why shouldn't I want that? Everybody does. And when I have it, I want it all to work.

Erlend Loe

I want to do movies, but I want to do something that's good. I don't want to make any more films until I feel that I'm ready for it. I want to have good work, and a very elegant life. I believe you get what you want.

Marianne Faithfull

I want anyone who believes in life, liberty, pursuit of happiness to succeed. And I want any force, any person, any element of an overarching Big Government that would stop your success, I want that organization, that element or that person to fail. I want you to succeed.

Rush Limbaugh
