I think the deeper you go into questions, the deeper or more interesting the questions get. And I think that’s the job of art.
Quote of the Day: Paul Schrader
I could be just a writer very easily. I am not a writer. I am a screenwriter, which is half a filmmaker. … But it is not an art form, because screenplays are not works of art. They are invitations to others to collaborate on a work of art.
Quote of the Day: Kurt Vonnegut
To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it.
Quote of the Day: Ken Rand
Writers are schizophrenic. On the one hand we tell ourselves, "This is a work of genius! I've created Art!" Then we try to peddle it.
Quote of the Day: Francis Ford Coppola
There can’t be art without risk. It’s like saying No Sex, and then expecting there to be children.
Quote of the Day: Scott Adams
Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
Quote of the Day: Vincent van Gogh
Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.
Quote of the Day: Paddy Chayefsky
Artists don't talk about art. Artists talk about work. If I have anything to say to young writers, it's stop thinking of writing as art. Think of it as work.
Quote of the Day: Gene Fowler
Don't be dismayed by the opinions of editors, or critics. They are only the traffic cops of the arts.
Quote of the Day: Virginia Woolf
A strange thing has happened -- while all the other arts were born naked, this, the youngest, has been born fully-clothed.
