I don't know why I've always been so captivated by architecture.
The first thing about a song is that it has to be real, be lived; it has to be emotional, and melancholic. I don't mean sad. Melancholy is sort of a comfort. Melancholy has a sort of beauty to it. This attracts me to every other form of art.
I'm an artist that's attracted to a specific way of seeing and a way of being.
Sometimes the art pieces I gravitate toward speak to me in terms of narrative, at other times they speak to me in terms of mood.
I think it is perfectly natural for any artist to admire intensely and love a young man. It is an incident in the life of almost every artist.
I'm seduced by the arts in general. Arts is like the power of now.
The fascination of somebody with original creative gifts is something that's always drawn me. I get attached to them, but I can't call it being in love, because the words are so debased.
I would never want to do something just for the sake of being independent or for the sake of doing big films. I'm always surprised by the material I'm attracted to. And that's how I like it. I like to be surprised.
When the audition for 'Cats' came up, even though I'd been making pop records, it felt like something I was attracted to.
I guess I'm drawn to artists and literary people and want to learn about them.
Being a creative person, I'm naturally drawn towards art of any kind. But I'm more attracted to paintings because they radiate an aura of their own.
I'm drawn to raw material and raw emotions.
I always believe that a good story will find its audience and that it will attract different kinds of elements of creative people who will make it more compelling.
I find that I'm really attracted to mysterious creatives, and I love people that are able to put their emotions out there for not just the world to see, but just that are giving of their emotions, but a little bit mysterious and elusive as well.
