— Zach Braff

— Yvette Mimieux

— Yusaku Maezawa
There's nothing wrong with using the money that you earn to be daring and buy art that you love or that you think is beautiful.
I've been writing for a long time, and I've loved comic books for a long time - forever - but I had to learn how to write in a different way to write sequential art for a graphic novel. It's been an interesting transition.
— Yuri Lowenthal
Sound as medium has an incredible elasticity. So, of course, it is tempting for artists of other fields to try something with sounds. Why not? We are living in the age when there is no limit in gathering all forms of art and music to mix it together if you so desire.
— Yoko Ono
It's a waste to not say anything with art.
I always look at the work of fashion designers as if they were art.
I have lots of passions - gardens, art, music and reading. I have eclectic taste and read a huge variety of books.
— Zoe Wanamaker
The one thing about art is you can't question it. Everyone is looking at everyone else to find out what's cool. No one knows what's cool.
— Zoe Kravitz
Historically, art and music and writing and film have been one of the only tools that is effective against tyranny.
The world is going on a high-speed connection; the Arab revolution is still dial-up. So we have to give it a little time to download. Regimes come and go, but art endures.
— Ziad Doueiri
To do art, one thing should always remember - subjects of people in misery have deep meanings.
I think what happens with a lot of writing and art is that specificity ends up being relatable while universality becomes vague.
— Zazie Beetz
I just love comic books. I've always loved comic book art, and I just think it's amazing.
— Zayn Malik
The art house is an elitist idea.
— Zal Batmanglij

— Youssou N'Dour
Great Art is Great because it inspired you greatly. If it didn't, no matter what the critics, the museums and the galleries say, it's not great art for you.
My career? I never think of it as a 'career.' Art and music and all those things that I'm creating are just part of me.
I'm into sincerity in music and sincerity in art. If it doesn't feel true, I don't want to do it. Things that are too dramatic scare me. I think that's why I don't always fit into the world of performing arts.
— Zooey Deschanel
After I left school, where I studied art, photography and textiles at A-level, I started doing an apprenticeship in interior design, but I wasn't really enjoying it very much, so I decided to do something creative, and in 2009, I began blogging.

Acting and making art is just something I love to do, and I love to tell stories that feel important, honest and necessary.
There is an art to acting, and there are techniques that are acquired. You can be as emotional as you'd like, as a person, but figuring out ways that you can bring specific emotions at specific times and have them be true, and relating to someone as someone that they're not, is a lot.
— Zoe Bell
Sometimes art is ahead of revolution.
I love playing with makeup. Makeup has become a thing where it's an art form. It's not a thing where you use it because you need to feel beautiful or because you don't like the way you look.
— Zendaya
When I work with Future, it's almost like a work of art.
Art should be for everyone, not just the rich.
You don't always have to show art in what's called a white box; you can have a kind of complexity within an exhibit which actually respects the art as well.
A lot of people, especially Christians, want to put you in this box of being a Christian actor, and I don't believe in it. You do yourself and everyone else a big disservice when you start thinking about it as 'Christian art.' That's why most Christian art is bad. They don't put a premium on the 'art.'
— Zachary Levi
Working on camera, your face is your career. But I'm not really one to buy into the pressures. At the end of the day, the job I do, it's more about the art and craft of it. If you're good at what you do, there's a place for you in the industry, no matter what you or your skin look like.
I would love to be able to share my artwork with as many people as possible so that I can help spread an appreciation for art in general.
Art makes people smile, brings people together.
Fundamental physics is like an art more or less. It's completely non-practical, and you can't use it for anything. But it's about the universe and how the world came into being. It's very remote from your daily life and mine, and yet it defines us as human beings.
— Yuri Milner
Art is a mind-game that we do to make our lives easier. If it isn't for that, it becomes superfluous.
There is an incredible love in creating art unless somebody is saying, 'Hey, let's just make money,' because it doesn't work when you do it that way. If you are aiming for that, forget it.
