Poetry is either language lit up by life or life lit up by language

Peter Porter

I lit up the Middle East when I lit up the world in the 1990s and gave people here something to be proud of.

Naseem Hamed

My feeling about my own work is, I could be writing 'The Aeneid' and they would still have to call it chick lit or mommy lit or menopausal old hag lit.

Jennifer Weiner

I was extremely irritated being photographed for a long time, then I gave up caring. Photography is a nauseating cliche, but there is a lot to it. You can tell so much about a person from it. You are exaggerating the consciousness. It's life-thickening, photography.

Peter Beard

Black-and-white photography, which I was doing in the very early days, was essentially called art photography and usually consisted of landscapes by people like Ansel Adams and Edward Weston. But photographs by people like Adams didn't interest me.

William Eggleston

Without my photography life would be boring. Photography adds an extra dimension to my life. Somehow it confirms my place in the world

Rennie Ellis

If I didn't have a conviction that a serious painter can portray Nature more profoundly than the best colour photography, I'd probably give it all up or go abstract or take up photography.

Edward Burtynsky

Walking into the great hall for the first time was absolutely incredible - all these effects with all the candles floating in the air, all lit and everything, food on the table, all the flambeaus were lit - it was just incredible, it was the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my life.

Rupert Grint

You can't show up on set and expect it all to come together. You have to have a plan, much like how the director can't just show up and go, well, where should I put the camera? That is gonna determine how it is lit, you should have already been in the room looking at it earlier, pre-lit the room, you know there is a lot of prep that goes into it, so it is the same thing with acting. You can't just show up.

Bruce Campbell

Wine has lit up for me the pages of literature, and revealed in life romance lurking in the commonplace.

Duff Cooper

First you study photography, then you practice photography, then you serve photography, and finally one becomes photography.

Ralph Gibson

I came up in photography, and Dust Bowl-era photography is a lot of the reason that I got behind the camera in the first place.

Rachel Morrison

I actually had a movie green lit at Disney the same week 'Burlesque' was green lit - a movie for Disney called 'Mash-Up', about a high school marching band.

Steve Antin

I grew up counterculture. I'm essentially a hippie, and I'm essentially a folkie.

Steve Earle
