Nature is garrulous to the point of confusion, let the artist be truly taciturn.
I did love 'The Artist.' I've seen it four times, and every time I see it, it gets better and better.

I always have a ping-pong table in the studio. If you're with an artist and you notice the situation is going south a little bit, it's like, 'You wanna play ping-pong or foosball?'
