It was something I was more interested in myself. When I went to see my sister dance at ballet, I was really into costumes and the arts, and my family was also supportive of whatever me and my sister wanted to do. I would say I pushed myself the most to be into design.
Christian Siriano

It wasn't until I went to Korea out of high school and got exposed to the martial arts for the first time and was just completely enamored with the physical ability of the martial arts and making my black belt.

Fay Wray

Making a living in the arts, though, creates so many jobs for other people.
Maureen Forrester

Many excellent cooks are spoilt by going into the arts.
Paul Gauguin

Martial arts is not about fighting; it's about building character.
Bo Bennett

Martial arts just normally would not draw me to the box office.
Mary Hart

Mathematics is, as it were, a sensuous logic, and relates to philosophy as do the arts, music, and plastic art to poetry.
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

More than in any other performing arts the lack of respect for acting seems to spring from the fact that every layman considers himself a valid critic.
Simone Weil

Movies are a complicated collision of literature, theatre, music and all the visual arts.
Yahoo Serious

Mr. Chairman, obviously a $60 million cut in the National Endowment for the Arts would be a disaster.
