Arts Quotes

On creativity, training, and the arts.

These quotes cover the arts broadly, from a shared skepticism about group decision-making in creative fields to years of formal Art and performance training that shaped a career from the ground up. One even compares the intuitive spark of artistic discovery to that of science.
