Arts Quotes

This isn’t to play down people who pursue acting... For me, I do acting just as a fun job. It is a phenomenal job, and I have fun doing it, but I relate more to my martial arts, to my baseball, to my film study. There are more facets to my life that I relate to Picture Quote #1

I was actually supposed to be a basketball player, not an actress. My parents had me playing basketball on competitive teams when I was in kindergarten. Even though my heart belongs to the arts, I’m a tomboy at heart, too Picture Quote #1

Celebrity’ is sort of an idea. I mean, I get to do something extraordinary, but I don’t think it makes me extraordinary. That’s my opinion. I like to be an artist; I like to do things that are involved in the arts, but I don’t think it makes me more special than a doctor, for example. A doctor is an extraordinary person Picture Quote #1

Civilizations are not remembered by their business people, their bankers or lawyers. They’re remembered by the arts Picture Quote #1

I do a lot of mixed martial arts - it’s like unlimited fighting. I do Brazilian jujutsu, beach volleyball. I don’t like my routine to get stale, so I also lift kettle bells and push cars Picture Quote #1

I had so many older brothers who beat up on me, so I’m a tough kid. I love mixed martial arts, weapons training, guns, knives, driving fast cars and motorcycles Picture Quote #1

I just dreamed about living in Paris and being French. I always loved the visual arts, film and theatre, and I hoped to be involved in creating beautiful products and images Picture Quote #1

A beautiful behavior is better than a beautiful form; it gives a higher pleasure than statues or pictures; it is the finest of fine arts Picture Quote #1

Work out really hard and be confident because bodies are beautiful, sensual and natural. I’ve also trained in Wushu, a form of martial arts - it’s very beautiful and flowy, and it’s predominantly used in fight scenes in movies, which is how it was introduced to me, and I just love it Picture Quote #1

I’ve been working with Disney all these years doing voice work, and now I’m signed with Disney Fine Arts, doing ‘Beauty and the Beast’ oil paintings. So it’s been an ongoing wonderful job Picture Quote #1

Because most of my career in the classroom has been at art schools (beginning at Bennington in the 1970s), I am hyper-aware of the often grotesque disconnect between commentary on the arts and the actual practice or production of the arts Picture Quote #1

I took physics, and lo and behold, there’s a lot of physics in ‘Lost.’ I think for most people, liberal arts educations are more abstract, but for me, it’s been a chance to apply the things I’ve learned more directly. I also took some Folklore and Mythology classes, and I think that a lot of that influenced me Picture Quote #1

Pythagoras said that medicine is the most godlike of arts. But if the most godlike, it should tend to the soul as well as the body, or else a living thing must be unhealthy, being diseased in its higher part Picture Quote #1

I always did plays. When I was in kindergarten, I got chosen to be Alvin in ‘The Chipmunks.’ We did a Chipmunks song. I was always a natural performer. It was easy for me. I danced and I sang, and all that stuff. I felt like I’d be something in the arts, but it vacillated between being a dancer and a singer, or whatever Picture Quote #1

My dad was very religious growing up and a little bit closed minded, and I think me being in the theater, two of my three sisters are dancers, so being in the arts world has changed and opened him up in a lot of ways Picture Quote #1

Mr Newton, a fellow of our College, and very young, being but the second year master of arts; but of an extraordinary genius and proficiency Picture Quote #1

Against the dark background of this contemporary civilization of well-being, even the arts tend to mingle, to lose their identity Picture Quote #1

The truth is I studied fine arts in Switzerland. I was just interested. I had no dream of being a movie star Picture Quote #1

Growing up, I always had two interests and two passions; one being public service and the other being the arts and acting Picture Quote #1

Being an actress wasn’t realistic. I knew that I was going to have to do it in a way that would speak to my parents. So I went to NYU Tisch School of the Arts for theater, and I studied at the conservatory Picture Quote #1

Being a vegetarian Buddhist would be a bit harsh to deal with in the kitchen, so I’m a Taoist, I study martial arts, and I don’t drink or smoke Picture Quote #1

Literature encourages tolerance-bigots and fanatics seldom have any use for the arts, because they’re so preoccupied with their beliefs and actions that they can’t see them also as possibilities Picture Quote #1

Best fight ever in a movie: ‘They Live.’ I want to do a martial arts version of that, where you think it’s ended, and it just keeps on going. I love that fight. It was funny as well. Unexpected Picture Quote #1

High finance isn’t burglary or obtaining money by false pretenses, but rather a judicious selection from the best features of those fine arts Picture Quote #1

Especially girls, but any kids exposed to music programs and arts programs do much better on their tests. They have a better chance of going to college. They can focus better. You know, we’re not just automatons learning how to work machines and do engineering and math and science. All of that’s great, but you’ve got to build a whole person Picture Quote #1

Definitely, and it’s getting more spiritual. Pretty soon I believe people will have to rely on music to get some kind of peace of mind, or satisfaction, or direction, actually. More so than politics, the big ego scene. You know it’s an art of words... Meaning nothing. Therefore you will have to get an earthier substance, like music or the arts Picture Quote #1

I think the martial arts tradition has a big influence on our generation - we all read these novels when we were very young Picture Quote #1

Every Halloween for six years, I was a Ninja Turtle, and Mikey was my favorite. The turtles really made me who I am today. They got me into martial arts, meditation, surfing, skateboarding; big time influence on who I am today Picture Quote #1

I started training in martial arts when I was 7 years old. I got my first black belt at 13 Picture Quote #1
