I like music because it's the only invisible art form.
I used language because I wanted to offer content that people - not necessarily art people - could understand.
I think comedians should focus on what makes them happy, what art form fulfills them the most. Don't be calculated about it and say, 'Okay, I'm gonna tweet, and I'm gonna podcast, and I'm gonna do standup, and one of those things is going to lead me to my own TV show.' I don't think that should be the goal.
A life is not sufficiently elevated for poetry, unless, of course, the life has been made into an art.
I got my diploma from Ealing College of Art, in graphics and illustration.
Politics is the art of the next best.
The genuine artist is never 'true to life.' He sees what is real, but not as we are normally aware of it. We do not go storming through life like actors in a play. Art is never real life.

Classic art was the art of necessity: modern romantic art bears the stamp of caprice and chance.
The art of being a slave is to rule one's master.
New voices in an old art - and women poets have been that for much more than a century - do not diminish the art through the category. They enrich it. They renew it with common quandaries of craft and innovation. The category simply allows the quandaries to be seen more clearly.
Art is a liaison between some sort of deranged mentality and others who are not going through it.
But, after all, the aim of art is to create space - space that is not compromised by decoration or illustration, space within which the subjects of painting can live.
Nobody ever told me, 'Art is this.' This was good luck in a way because I would have had to spend half of my life forgetting everything that I had been told, which is what happens with most students in schools of fine arts.
Both of my folks were into art. My dad was an art collector, my mom had a little kiln in our basement, and we would make pottery. I think from about age five on, they sent me to art classes, and I was a huge colorer.
I'm using my art to comment on what I see. You don't have to agree with it.

Writing for myself and writing for another artist are two very different experiences. When I handle both the story and the art, I have full control. I can endlessly tweak every word and every line.

Art is not living. It is the use of living.
The web of life is a beautiful and meaningless dance. The web of life is a process with a moving goal. The web of life is a perfectly finished work of art right where I am sitting now.
You have to master not only the art of listening to your head, you must also master listening to your heart and listening to your gut.
