People just don't understand the art form of what we do. It's a mental and physical grind. You can't be a dolt in this industry. On the opposite end of that, you can be the smartest guy in the world and not understand what it is to have a presence on stage.
— Seth Rollins
The minute there's a map, there is no art. Paint by numbers is not art. Paint by numbers is a mechanical activity.
— Seth Godin
It is important to fund young researchers who want to do curiosity-driven research. Curiosity-driven research is a part of life. Some people are curious. They want to learn more about nature and society should help that. It's like art: you can learn more and bring more beauty.
— Serge Haroche
We ought to arrange calendars as we arrange art on our walls and ask: how does this task fit next to the surrounding ones?
— Sendhil Mullainathan
For me, art is such a wide concept - anything can be art.
— Sebastiao Salgado
Poetry was my 'in' to the idea that I could express myself through art.
— Sebastian Lelio
I probably use more grays than any other artist in the history of art.
— Sean Scully
I was doing an interview with a curator, and he asked me to sum up art in one word. Before he even finished asking the question, I said, 'Impurity.' Because that's it.
My art is based on impurity. You have to mix things from different refined cultures to get something raw, to make it go again.
Whatever one considers art to be, there is in many people a hunger to express themselves creatively and to feel authentic in doing that.
— Sean Penn
I don't want to get pretentious, but there's an art to doing sitcoms; you have to make it work in that format.
— Sean Maguire
We've mastered the art of making pretty music that makes you want to die.
— Sean Kinney
My one hope for Netflix and Amazon is to be a little more art house- and indie-friendly, pushing those just as hard as they push their originals.
— Sean Baker
The end of art is peace.
— Seamus Heaney
The kinds of truth that art gives us many, many times are small truths. They don't have the resonance of an encyclical from the Pope stating an eternal truth, but they partake of the quality of eternity. There is a sort of timeless delight in them.
When I look back at my life and think about what really happened, my memory is obscured by the stories I've created out of those incidents. In stories, as reality melds with art, the result sometimes feels truer than real life.
— Scott Spencer
To say martial arts, or the combative form - mixed martial arts - is not an art form is incorrect.
— Scott Coker
Boxing is really an art form. It might just look like two people beating each other up, but when you look closer, it's actually quite beautiful and interesting.
— Seth Numrich
I've worked with some great orchestras and amazing classical musicians, but I don't like the conceptualization of classical music as an elitist form of art.
— Serj Tankian
My city is not only losing jobs. We're losing people, and it's frightening. During my recent art curation at the City Club, I spent most of that time urging Cleveland residents and city officials to adopt a plan to merge East Cleveland with Cleveland so we can maintain our population, because doing nothing is no longer an option.
— Seph Lawless
I like owning my own narrative. It depends: I either give it all up, or I don't have any control. It's really hard to go halfway. Like with modeling, for example, I kind of give up all creative control, and that's just that. But when it comes to my own personal art, I'm very O.C.D. I see something a very certain way.
— Selah Louise Marley
In Latin America, cinema has always been a bourgeois activity, I guess, as it is everywhere. It's just a stupidly expensive art form, and there is nothing you can do about it.
It's weird, like, my life has always imitated art, and my art has always imitated life.
— Sebastian Bach
Art is transformative. It's not 2+2=4. It works like the sea. It changes geography through its constant and relentless movement, just the way plants and water shape the world.
When I was a young kid at art school, I loved the sensual geometry of Poliakoff, which, of course, is inherent in my own work.
I've always wanted my art to be global rather than local. I want to make paintings that people everywhere can relate to.
I did study the art of being a barber because I wanted to figure out what my routine would be. Do you start in the front or back? Top or bottom? Swivel the chair or walk around? What I did discover is there's no such thing as the perfect haircut!
— Sean Patrick Thomas
I spend my time trying to figure art out. I was brought up to believe that the way one processes information is by making it into art. That's how I live my life.
— Sean Lennon
I was born to argue... I don't know why. I mean, from arguing with my teachers and, on occasions, my parents. I think I've mastered the art of argument at a fairly young age.
— Sean Hannity
I'm an advocate of all mediums - it's a larger canvas for us as artists - but we have to keep in mind that celluloid film is what created this wonderful art form, and we have to keep it alive.
Poetry is a domestic art, most itself when most at home.
Art is difficult.
— Scott Thompson
I think it's important for anyone who takes cinema seriously not to limit yourself to just optimistic or happy movies. I think that's a problem. You've got to be willing to let the art of cinema take you into some darker places if you're going to make full use of it.
— Scott Derrickson
I personally want to work with great directors and great actors. My thing is about being inspired. You want money to come, but money doesn't always come with great art. At the end of the day, it's about being satisfied with yourself as a human being. It's important to me to try to make that happen.
— Scott Cohen
I cannot tell good art from bad art. I have no eye for it.
— Seth MacFarlane
The art of reading between the lines is as old as manipulated information.
— Serge Schmemann
Art isn't complete until it's shared.
I had an art teacher who's the reason I got there in high school who encouraged me to go to Alabama. That's where she had gone and kept raving over their art department.
— Sela Ward
Casting is an art, and if you're interested in people, like I am, casting is essential.
My childhood was extremely unhappy. That's not to say that my parents didn't love me. But it was traumatic, and of course, art doesn't come out of rosy gardens. It comes out of damage.
Imagine a world without art: it's George Orwell's nightmare!
That's the job of art: to undo the logic of the world.
When I got into art school, I thought it was paradise. I wanted to be an artist so much that I was really driven and nothing could stop me.
Joyce for all his devotion to his art, terrible in its austerity, was a lad born with a song on one side of him, a dance on the other; two gay guardian angels every human ought to have.
— Sean O'Casey
I like music because it's the only invisible art form.
At art college, I started to do music and then painting and drawing - and that would have been my ideal life, to be an artist and be paid for it, to be able to create stuff. I realized it was difficult, but I don't know if I had the application for it.
— Sean Bean
Film is the only art form where we feel we have to title our stuff literally. Musicians don't have to title their songs literally. It can be more about what's conjured up when you think of a word.
I feel myself part of something. Not only being part of a community but part of an actual moment and a movement of Irish writing and art. That sense of being part of the whole thing is the deepest joy.
Art is about the edges and the sharp corners and those places are not conducive to activism, which is about putting on a gloss.
I would be concerned if one of my children were constantly watching nothing but horror films or indulging in gothic literature without the balance of other types of art and entertainment. I do think that's a danger.
