I don't think you can lightly paint a picture. It's an activity I take very seriously. — © Howard Hodgkin
I don't think you can lightly paint a picture. It's an activity I take very seriously.
I dont think you can lightly paint a picture. Its an activity I take very seriously.
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.
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.
What you do when you paint, you take a brush full of paint, get paint on the picture, and you have faith.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Take what you do seriously, but yourself lightly

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.
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.
If you paint a picture and I paint a picture, we each want to do it our own way. And we'll stand or fall on whatever we did.
If I was painting a picture, I wouldn't want to take a picture of a single paint stroke. I'd rather show people what it looks like when it's done.
I am not a Ph.D. in economics or a doctorate in literature that I can afford to take my singing lightly. Even if I sing a jingle, I take it as seriously as oxygen.
