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

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.

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
