We're going to shoot one Polaroid per show. I'm going to sign this before it even develops because I know that once it develops with my signature on it it's worth a fortune. I'll make this a work of magic warlock art.
Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act but a habit.
I have no fear of making changes destroying the image etc. because the painting has a life of its own.
If you do not breathe through writing if you do not cry out in writing or sing in writing then don't write because our culture has no use for it.
I was going to be an architect. I graduated with a degree in architecture and I had a scholarship to go back to Princeton and get my Masters in architecture. I'd done theatricals in college but I'd done them because it was fun.
Architecture is involved with the world but at the same time it has a certain autonomy. This autonomy cannot be explained in terms of traditional logic because the most interesting parts of the work are non-verbal. They operate within the terms of the work like any art.
One of my favorite vacation places is Miami because of the people the water and the beach - of course - and the architecture on Miami Beach is so wonderful.
In fact it will be very easy to climb the building because of its shape and architecture.
Art is very tricky because it's what you do for yourself. It's much harder for me to make those works than the monuments or the architecture.
The dialogue between client and architect is about as intimate as any conversation you can have because when you're talking about building a house you're talking about dreams.
No architect troubled to design houses that suited people who were to live in them because that would have meant building a whole range of different houses. It was far cheaper and above all timesaving to make them identical.
My passion and great enjoyment for architecture and the reason the older I get the more I enjoy it is because I believe we - architects - can effect the quality of life of the people.
We can't forget what happened on May 4th 1970 when four students gave up their lives because they had the American constitutional right of peaceful protest. They gave up their lives. And to sing that song in that spot on that anniversary was very emotional for us.
Mom and Dad were married 64 years. And if you wondered what their secret was you could have asked the local florist - because every day Dad gave Mom a rose which he put on her bedside table. That's how she found out what happened on the day my father died - she went looking for him because that morning there was no rose.
With Stacy it was interesting because you know he was within all this chaos all these different lives that were so broken and so much anger and so much frustration and their skating came out of that their different styles came out of that.
The reason why I love people and writing about them is because they don't always respond with hate and anger. If they did I wouldn't have a story to tell. Who wants to know about someone who was brutalised and became brutal? I'm interested in the exceptions.
I've chosen my wedding ring large and heavy to continue forever. But exactly because of that all the time that Dave and I have an argument I feel it like handcuffs and on anger time I throw it in a basket. Poor Dave he bought me three wedding rings already!
Because society would rather we always wore a pretty face women have been trained to cut off anger.
I guess lyrically they're similar because they're talking about escaping the kind of misery that likes company. 'The Last One Alive ' for me is very simple. It's just about alienation really that causes anger.
But on second thought after I decreed the state of emergency I came to the conclusion that that was impossible to achieve without bloodshed because the street protesters were full of anger and nearly out of control. This is why I thought we needed to find another way out.
I do like to write nasty songs. It's a useful weapon to have and it's cathartic as well because I create art out of anger something positive out of something negative.
So I'm not worried about the emotions I carry with me because I'm happy that I have them I think it's good for the work I do. The emotions that are not healthy are the ones you hold inside like anger.
I had a lot of anger because I wasn't happy with the way I had been raised.
To do all that one is able to do is to be a man to do all that one would like to do is to be a god.
