I met my grandfather just before he died and it was the first time that I had seen Dad with a relative of his. It was interesting to see my own father as a son and the body language and alteration in attitude that comes with that and it sort of changed our relationship for the better.

My grandfather was a man when he talked about freedom his attitude was really interesting. His view was that you had obligations or you had responsibilities and when you fulfilled those obligations or responsibilities that then gave you the liberty to do other things.

Surrealism: An archaic term. Formerly an art movement. No longer distinguishable from everyday life.

Appropriation is the idea that ate the art world. Go to any Chelsea gallery or international biennial and you'll find it. It's there in paintings of photographs photographs of advertising sculpture with ready-made objects videos using already-existing film.

To me nothing in the art world is neutral. The idea of 'disinterest' strikes me as boring dishonest dubious and uninteresting.

If you are going to break a Law of Art make the crime interesting.

The effort of art is to keep what is interesting in existence to recreate it in the eternal.

The youth of an art is like the youth of anything else its most interesting period. When it has come to the knowledge of good and evil it is stronger but we care less about it.

I realised the bohemian life was not for me. I would look around at my friends living like starving artists and wonder 'Where's the art?' They weren't doing anything. And there was so much interesting stuff to do so much fun to be had... maybe I could even quit renting.

To me photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.

One of the interesting things here is that the people who should be shaping the future are politicians. But the political framework itself is so dead and closed that people look to other sources like artists because art and music allow people a certain freedom.

Good management is the art of making problems so interesting and their solutions so constructive that everyone wants to get to work and deal with them.

The beauty one can find in art is one of the pitifully few real and lasting products of human endeavor.

I don't want to be interesting. I want to be good.

The 150th anniversary of Penn State will highlight what is important and good about this distinguished institution and the fine people and research that it produces.

Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union they insist there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which in my book is a good definition for friendship.

Anger is implanted in us as sort of sting to make us gnash with our teeth against the devil to make us vehement against him not to set us in array against each other.

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.

Allowing children to show their guilt show their grief show their anger takes the sting out of the situation.

I know plenty of actresses in their early thirties who look amazing although there's that old saying: 'Ladies get older men get more distinguished.'

I think Chris Weitz is an amazing director and his sensibility - I wouldn't even know how to articulate it - it's just he's a very sensitive interesting guy.

I want to be a morning-talk-show host. I love Kelly Ripa's job. She gets to live in New York and has this amazing job hosting a talk show.

It's amazing the relationships you forge in a kitchen. When you cooperate in an environment that's hot. Where there's a lot of knives. You're trusting your well-being with someone you've never before met or known.

James Franco has this interesting and relaxed look. It's pretty 'I don't care ' but it still looks good. Ryan Gosling also has amazing style. I take a lot of my fashion tips from those two. In my opinion they're the ones getting it right.
