“With drama, you need to be laughing, in between takes, 'cause you're going to those recesses of your soul and those dangerous parts. Normally, if you're not an actor or some crazy artist, you don't feel the need to run around in those areas. You keep them separate because it's painful.” IfsNeedsFeelsSoulRunningArtistActorsCausesLaughingCrazyDangerousDramaAreasPainfulYour SoulRecess Author:Josh Peck
“I am interested in the non-dramatic moments in life. I`m not at all attracted to making films that are about drama.

It really horrified me.” KnowsYearsMomentsFilmArtistSawsDramaDramaticAbstract Author:Jim Jarmusch
“With most people, not describable as artists, all the finer part of their vitality goes into sex. They become third-rate poets during their courtship. All their instincts of drama come out freshly with their wives. The artist is he in whom this emotionality normally absorbed by sex is so strong that it claims a newer and more exclusive field of deployment. Its first creation is the Artist himself, a new sort of person; the creative man.” PeopleMenFirstsPersonsArtistStrongSexCreativeWifeCreationFieldsPoetDramaThirdsClaimsInstinctRateVitalityExclusiveCourtshipDeployment Author:Wyndham Lewis
“All writers, musicians, artists, choreographers/dancers, etc., work with the stuff of their experiences.

“Practically all writers and artists are aware of their destiny and see themselves as actors in a fateful drama. With me, nothing is momentous: obscure youth, glorious old age, fateful coincidences - nothing really matters. I have written a number of good sentences. I have kept free of delusions. I know I am going to die soon.” KnowsMatterAgeArtistDiesActorsNumbersDestinyWrittenYouthDramaSentencesOld AgeGloriousDelusionCoincidenceObscure Author:Eric Hoffer
“They say that art comes from the soul. The more drama in an artist's life, the more he can draw on for his art.

“The paintings are not just on flat walls - you have these enormous niches, bulges and protrusions, as well as stalactites and stalagmites. The effect of the three-dimensionality is phenomenal.

“I grew up in repertory theaters, so it was comedy one night, drama the next. I'm used to going from one to the other. And I worked for years in television as well.

“That's what David Caruso said to me. We were talking about the whole Emmy thing, and he said that one of the things about awards in this town is that a lot is about the drama - like the drama of the performance.

And people who aren't artists - a lot of people who vote for this stuff - don't get it."” PeopleRealArtistDramaVoteWire Author:Lance Reddick
“I think that the first responsibility of an artist is to follow truth, and the innate original forces and energies that are within them. At the same time, I also think, collectively, that there has to be a place for artists to reflect and deal with the society they're living in. I think that great art inevitably reflects some of the drama and trauma and conflicts that exist in the outer world.” ThinkingWorldArtArtistEnergyResponsibilityDramaConflictTraumaGreat Art Author:Tony Shafrazi
