— Ray Conniff
It's so funny to see the evolution in my music and personal style as a whole because, for me, they all work together as art. As my music changes, I'm compelled to change my hair, clothes, or shoes. It all has to be cohesive.
— Ravyn Lenae
I love the work of Matisse and Picasso, but I don't have enough millions to own one. And I don't really believe in owning art, anyway.
— Ravi Shankar

— Ralph H. Baer
What moves me in art is how we question who we are as people.
— Ralph Fiennes

— Ralph Bakshi

— Rain Dove
If you believe in your art, and you love what you do, that energy will go out, and people will respond.
I started playing piano and guitar when I was in elementary school, and then I was finally like, 'I want to sing.' So I started taking voice lessons and decided I wanted to go to an art school and take music seriously.
I don't have any other skills. Some artists say that to mean that their embodied passion for art gave them no choice. I say it, very specifically, to say that I really didn't have any other options.
American art, like America, must wait and live a while longer.
My eyes were made to erase all that is ugly.
An artist shouldn't be judged by how many people like his art but by how pure and good it is - but I think that when you're telling jokes, which is more what I'm doing, if people aren't laughing, you're telling bad jokes.
— Randall Munroe
Philosophically considered, the universe is composed of Nature and the Soul. Strictly speaking, therefore, all that is separate from us, all which Philosophy distinguishes as the 'Not Me,' that is, both nature and art, all other men and my own body, must be ranked under this name, 'Nature.'
In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.
The art of acting consists in keeping people from coughing.
— Ralph Richardson

— Ralph Ellison
At that time, the academic orientation was rather technical contrary to that of the university, where art theory is very important. The teachers were renowned artists and among the best of that time.
— Ralph Allen
How content-driven cinema worked so well... Yeah, the shift is definitely happening... It is such a good change, and it is the kind of change I would like to see so that we just go to watch a film and not put them into brackets - that this is an art film or commercial movie.
— Rajkummar Rao
I think in any work of art, there always will be randomness about what is good, what is bad.
Surely all art is the result of one's having been in danger, of having gone through an experience all the way to the end, where no one can go any further.
I hope for all of us that the future brings us towards evolving our consciousness. To delving deeper into our true power. To exploring more the key to sustaining our planet and our art for the better of all living things.
— Rain Phoenix
I have faith in my art.
— Raheem DeVaughn
Science fiction is any idea that occurs in the head and doesn't exist yet, but soon will, and will change everything for everybody, and nothing will ever be the same again. As soon as you have an idea that changes some small part of the world you are writing science fiction. It is always the art of the possible, never the impossible.
— Ray Bradbury
The classical art of spin bowling, how you should bowl in Test match cricket, is disappearing.
— Ravi Shastri
As an artist, I've always felt most comfortable outside of the art supply store. So domestic materials are the ones that most help inform what I'm trying to talk about and our familiarity as a whole - kind of the collective us, I guess.
France has lived a long time - eight or nine centuries - and yet art in France, too, was derivative up until the 19th Century.

— Ralph Gibson
Animation is tremendously resilient. Animation will recover, as art always recovers. There's always cycles of good art.
The pursuit of perfection always implies a definite aristocracy, which is as much a goal of effort as a noble philosophy, an august civil polity or a great art.
— Ralph Adams Cram
I always feel secure. I can't be a pure actor if I feel insecure. I can't let other things take over my love for acting. For me, it's a giving art. It is not something which I am doing for myself. I am doing it for my co-actors, unless it is something like 'Trapped'.
I don't want to sound pretentious, but I love art, I like to go to museums, and I like to read books.
— Rainn Wilson
I prefer drawing the things I've written to handing them off to another artist. Turns out I'm a huge control freak - and because I write in thumbnails, the art is already happening by the time I start writing!
Clothing shouldn't be a societal shackle. It should be art and truth and a way for us to show the world what we want out of it. It's environmental armor.
