Famous Quotes & Sayings

J. Tillman

My last album as J. Tillman, 'Singing Ax,' that was really a premeditated death rattle of the aesthetic precedent I had set. I realized I wasn't creating spontaneously; I was enforcing all these parameters. I was too self-loathing or something, and there was this obvious dissonance between my conversational voice and creative voice.

George Herbert Mead

To so enter into it in nature and art that the enjoyed meanings of life may become a part of living is the attitude of aesthetic appreciation.

Leatrice Eiseman

Pink always says soft. But that's not a bad thing! A lot of guys, when they allow themselves to try the color, they look in the mirror and say, 'Hey, I look pretty good in this.' Any of the rosy tones really vibrate well for the skin. So I think besides using pink from a psychological standpoint (to show their softer side), there's also the aesthetic aspect - knowing they look good and having people say, 'Wow, that's a great look on you,' which invariably will happen. And that really locks it.

Virginia Postrel

Although people often equate them, glamour is not the same as beauty, stylishness, luxury, celebrity, or sex appeal. It is not limited to fashion or film; nor is it intrinsically feminine. It is not a collection of aesthetic markers - a style, as fashion and design use the word.

Iman Iman

I wanted to do something other than just sign books, ... I thought that by doing makeovers I could make this more of an interactive thing. So I have makeup artists there and I do a little Q and A.

Some people may not think it is my forte, but I am actually very approachable -- unlike my photographs.

Lynne Salisbury

My respect for artists is very high. I think to get the most out of them, you have to liberate them. I think part of liberating them is saying, 'Come up with something brilliant, new, and fresh. Stop thinking based on what has been beat into you by executives or publishers in terms of what's going to work and what's not. Don't react, just act.'

Q-Tip

The song, 'Life is Better,' is about hip-hop. It's about my love for hip-hop. And, you know, I go through all the artists from the beginning to the end, you know. And, well, not to the end, but since the beginning to now, you know.

James Cromwell

I think the obligation of an artist is to make a difference in the world. That is what matters most to me. I think that artists are the leaders of the world because they do not have a connection to the industrial complex, the day-to-day short-term survival that most people are involved with.

David Nathan

Bonnie Tyler

I never forget the first time I was on 'Top of the Pops', my bass player said: 'You've made it!' I did used to think, when I was younger, that I'd be on there one day.
