Arne Glimcher Quotes

I'm a writer. An amateur photographer. An actor.

A lot of musicians are good cooks, and a lot of cooks are musicians, but I think that may just be a result of the creative impulse finding several means of expression. Probably an equivalent number are visual artists, woodworkers or compulsive liars.

Writing is my profession. Photography is my hobby.

It's important to have a fallback and other activities that keep you interested. I started acting when I was about nine or 10 years old. My father was a midtown firefighter so I always wanted to be a firefighter, but then acting came along. I have to have a plan B.

I mean, my music career and my acting career - if I want to do them to the extent that I eventually do want to get to, it's going to be a bit of a balancing act. But I'm hoping they'll just go hand in hand.

Ballet might be too formal of a title for the type of dance I do, but I love to dance. I love to draw and paint; I do ceramics and photography. I'm interested in a lot of creative stuff.

I'm sure there are people who think I only do music, people who think I only do theater, and people who think I only do dramatic stuff. I do things that interest me.

I would like to be known as an 'artist'. Whether that be music, acting, sketching, cooking, whatever. I'm interested in all of those things.

Aside from my modelling, by the early Nineties I was also starting to work as a photographer, which I loved.

I want to do television, film, music and designing. I want to do it all!

I think it's really important for actors to have another creative outlet, or for anyone, really.

My whole life has been singing and painting. I just do those two things.

I'm a creative person. I love to write, I love to act, I love to perform, I love to create things with my hands, so I do all of these things that are kind of like hobbies in a way. They're things that I love, so it's not like a work-life balance; it's just a work-life marriage.

I played in bands very very young. I painted; I did photography, all kinds of things.

I love acting, of course, and I would still love to keep acting, but I want to try my hands at so many things.
