I'm enamored with the art world.
A lot of people are intimated by art, but it's something to be revered beyond criticism.
People don't really have a relationship with great writing or great production or great art direction or great direction. They just sort of admire it.
It may be a point of great pride to have a Van Gogh on the living room wall, but the prospects of having Van Gogh himself in the living room would put a great many devoted art lovers to rout.
Sometimes when I walk into a gallery and I see someone's work, I think to myself, 'Gee, I wish I had done that.'
I love the work of Matisse and Picasso, but I don't have enough millions to own one. And I don't really believe in owning art, anyway.
I'm a huge David Hockney fan.
In the past, art was admired and revered from afar. Today, there is more of an interactive relationship between the art and the person who admires it.
Great poetry must be admired, because it is great and because it is poetry, and so we admire it.
