"It is necessary to have a lot of faith in one's work to hold out, which my father - if he were still alive - would consider sick." (H. R. Giger) "It's a great excuse and luxury, having a job and blaming it for your inability to do your own [art]. When you don't have to work, you are left with the horror of facing your own lack of imagination and your own emptiness. A devastating possibility when finally time is your own." (Julian Schnabel, American painter and filmmaker) "It's a place where people would shit in bags, staple it to a wall, and call it an art project." (Neil Swaab, on Syracuse University) "It's a scary time ... this is how the Roman Empire fell. We're dancing as Rome burns." (Julianne Moore, on our society's obsession with celebrity) "It's a very intimate experience, reading a book. You're as close as you get to anyone - except in bed. No, closer." (J. G. Ballard) "Life beats down and crushes the soul and art reminds you that you have one." (Stella Adler) "No art is possible without a dance with death." (Louis-Ferdinand Céline) "Our time is so short and the future so terrifyingly long. Through the art of brush, pen, and lens ... we possess a swift and sure means of touching the conscience and clearing the vision." (Ansel Adams) "Pay for soup, build a fort, set that on fire" (Jean-Michel Basquiat, graffiti tag) "People discuss my art and pretend to understand as if it were necessary to understand, when it's simply necessary to love." (Claude Monet)
