Suddenly I've got an overwhelming desire to surround myself with the aura of classical and Romantic art.
Movies are a collective art. Art by proxy.
I was very much into buying contemporary art, but I've just decided I want to get rid of it all. Not that it's not great art, but all of a sudden my mood has changed, and I want to go back to seventeenth- and eighteenth-century masters.
Art is the ability to communicate through an intermediary and to convey one's feelings through an isolated object. It's inspiration and incubation. Putting my subjective feelings into an objective form and then on to you for a subjective interpretation.
I think there's a kind of built-in arrogance to anyone who considers themself an artist. They want to feel as though like they can run the whole spectrum. "I can do it all. I can do minimalism, and I can do classical art." Well, that's not true.
I love art more than anything in the world except for my family.
I'd live in a museum if I could. I used to spend hours and hours in the Museum of Modern Art.
In fact, every day I'll read a chapter of some art book. I don't know why. It's just a habit.
