I also won one from the emperor of Japan, with a prize for the arts. That's important.
Marcel Carne

I always thought martial arts was the most modern choreography we could have right now, and I always wanted to put it to music.
Lou Reed

I always told the people at Cal Arts that if they wanted me to do Jazz studies, first of all, there couldn't be a big band within 500 miles and that I could do what I wanted to do. And they said I could.
Charlie Haden

I am convinced that in the arts, committees are useless.
Walter Legge

I am not a specialist but a general practitioner in the world of the arts.
Theodore Bikel

I deplore the loss of arts on BBC One and Two.
Jonathan Dimbleby

I didn't go to a normal high school. It was for people in the performing arts.
Marla Sokoloff

I do not think men have more talent. There are a great many women in the arts; novelists, painters, sculptors, poets-but the proportion is far lower in the field of song writing.
Dorothy Fields

I do think that a general liberal arts education is very important, particularly in an uncertain changing world.
Steve Case

I don't know about liberal bias, but people of a liberal mentality are probably attracted in greater numbers to the arts than people of a conservative mentality.
Sydney Pollack

I don't think I'm in any position to call myself a martial artist. I'm a student of the martial arts.
Lou Reed

I don't think they should regulate the music field. I don't see how they can regulate the arts.
Gordon Lightfoot

I endured many weeks of it, but I had a big background in martial arts and fighting as a kid, so kind of all the problems got brushed away and I was ready.
Jason Statham

I felt I really wanted to back off from music completely and just work within the visual arts in some way. I started painting quite passionately at that time.
David Bowie

I found that it wasn't so oddball to like music and poetry and visual arts, they're kindred spirits.
J. Carter Brown

I had a liberal arts education at Amherst College where I had two majors, mathematics and philosophy.
Stephen Cole Kleene

I happen to think that American politics is one of the noblest arts of mankind; and I cannot do anything else but write about it.
Theodore White

I have a Bachelor of Arts in English, which means I had a lot of formal training in reading.
Kate DiCamillo

I have always believed that opera is a planet where the muses work together, join hands and celebrate all the arts.
Franco Zeffirelli

I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.
John Steinbeck
