Sam Taylor-Wood Quotes

Having children is exciting. Life puts the past into perspective Picture Quote #1

I felt giving birth was the most creative act of all my creative acts - literally creation! Picture Quote #1

Sometimes, I get afraid it has defined me, that sense of grief, loss and illness. But actually, it is about allowing myself to take hold and say: ‘This is part of who I am, but not only who I am.’ Picture Quote #1

I love life. I think it’s fantastic. Sometimes it deals hard things, and when it deals great things, you have to seize them Picture Quote #1

Britain can sometimes feel like a very small village, and you’re this, I dunno, scarlet woman they’re all gossiping about Picture Quote #1

Seeing a new play in a first-time production is so exciting - when it’s good, you want to shout from the rooftops Picture Quote #1

I’m motivated every second by my work; it doesn’t switch off. The pictures I make come from every blink of my lashes Picture Quote #1

I went out of my way to try not to be an artist, because I thought I would end up leading a miserable, obscure life. I tried to escape it for as long as I could, until I had to admit at 25 that that was my path Picture Quote #1

I understand what it is to go through emotional trauma and retreat and go into the world of your imagination. I understand how art and music can be a place of safety in a world of reinvention Picture Quote #1

I feel lucky to be getting older. The fact that I made it to 30 and then 40 was big enough. So I can’t get too down on getting older; otherwise, it kind of undoes everything I’ve fought for Picture Quote #1

A lot of children remember seeing cartoons, ‘Pinocchio’ or ‘Bambi’ or something that breaks their heart. I remember seeing ‘The Blue Angel’ and it breaking my heart. It was the first time I realised there was an adult world - that adults could damage each other or destroy each other emotionally Picture Quote #1

I went to Goldsmith College of Art in London in the 80s and there I made sculptures, but the objects had nothing to do with how I was thinking. I was making beautifully sanded wooden boxes! Picture Quote #1

I suppose I didn’t cry in all the cancer crap stuff because I felt I couldn’t lose the battle, and part of the battle was holding myself together Picture Quote #1

Seriously, I wanted to be an artist because I saw that it meant endless possibilities. I came from a badly managed family background, so art was a way of reinventing myself Picture Quote #1

I’d love to have more children. If I’m still clear after five years, I’ll think again Picture Quote #1

People in love don’t see gender, colour or religion. Or age. It’s about the other person, the one that you love and who loves you. You don’t think of them in terms of a label. You just go with your heart Picture Quote #1

I have a massive phobia for schedules and calendars. I need people to tell me where I need to be. I can’t bear to see it in black and white. I think it’s a fear of being pinned down Picture Quote #1

I hate rats. I had a pet rat to try and overcome it. I even gave him mouth-to mouth resuscitation when he had a heart attack. But I couldn’t conquer it Picture Quote #1

I feel the art world in New York has a stronger following than Britain. If you go to a New York art district on a Saturday morning, it will be so busy with families and openings - art is much more ingrained in the culture Picture Quote #1

Daniel Day-Lewis is one of the greatest actors of our age; he’s like Olivier. He’s one of those people who can take you into a place where no one else can take you Picture Quote #1

After I left college, I went to work at the Royal Opera House in London, which became a real catalyst for me because it made me realize that I was interested in cinema and in the way life is thrust at you. So I started making films Picture Quote #1

I wanted to become an artist because it meant endless possibilities. Art was a way of reinventing myself Picture Quote #1

I seize all opportunities with two hands. Everything that’s happened to me has taught me to live in the moment as much as possible Picture Quote #1

I never thought of having cancer as something that was unfair. I just braced myself and tried to get through it Picture Quote #1
