“I can remember when anything further downtown New York than Canal Street was risky and the whole area still looked like a 70s cop movie location; when the original loft-owners were more dash-than-cash, artistic types.” StillsI CanWholeRememberStreetsNew YorkTypeAreasOriginalsArtisticOwnersCashCopLocationRemember WhenDowntownCanals Author:Peter York
“Marvin Gaye said there's a song inside of me and I can't get it out. And I know it's in there, and I can feel that it's in there, and I can't get it out. There's so much that I want to say, and I haven't been able to figure out how to say it in my art. I can only say it in ham-fisted, clumsy, nonpoetic ways, and I'm trying to figure out how to talk about life and talk about love and talk about pain and trials and tribulation in an artistic form.” KnowsWayWantFeelsTryingArtSaidI CanAblePainFormSongHavensFiguresTrialsArtisticTribulationClumsyHamTrials And TribulationsMarvin Author:Will Smith
“Everyone has doors in the living room of their lives that they assume are locked. Doors that lead to artistic expression. People say "I have no talent -- I can't dance or sing or paint or write poetry or play an instrument." More often than not the doors are not locked, just closed. One may turn the handle, open the door and pass through into a larger life space.” PeopleWritingMayArtI CanPlayTurnsSpaceRoomsDoorsTalentExpressionInstrumentsAssumingPaintHandleArtisticLockedLiving RoomArtistic ExpressionLocked Doors Author:Robert Fulghum
