Arts Quotes

I will end up with someone in the arts. I am positive. I eat, breathe and sleep acting. And I'll end up with someone who is happy staying at home and having me cook supper. But I also really need to be intellectually challenged and stimulated. I want someone bookish, and someone who is passionate.
Ginnifer Goodwin

Home, Positive, Happy

Isaac Hayes

Nothing, Themselves, Started

If you look at things that really affect people's lives - sport, the arts, charities - they were always at the back of the queue for government money - health, social security, defence, pensions were all way ahead.

John Major

Ian Mcewan

I think opera has gained a kind of glamorous appeal. It's a live performance that aligns all of the arts, and when it is represented in the media, in film in particular, it is presented as something that is really a special event, whether it's a great date or something that's just hugely romantic.
Renee Fleming

Great, Romantic, Live

Motion capture is exactly what it says: it's physical moves, whereas performance capture is the entire performance - including your facial performance.

Andy Serkis

Terry Eagleton

Icon. What is an icon? When someone is iconic it means they have established a certain kind of legacy possibly, and I think it does come with time. It's something in the arts, I feel. Maybe not, maybe it doesn't have to be in the arts exactly. I'm not really sure. But I don't think you are born an icon.
Diana Ross

Time, Someone, Means
