Government shouldn't try to dictate what art looks like or what it portrays. Last thing we want is government screwing it up, which is what they would do.
— Mike Huckabee
You can have information and ease of use and have artistic integrity at the same time. The art of being a good Web designer is getting yourself into that middle ground and treating it as a final destination instead of as a compromise.
— Mike Davidson
The ability to workshop in stand-up comedy is incomparable to any art form, in my opinion.
— Mike Birbiglia
I want to tour less and make more art.
— Mija
We were given clear concrete tools. The course did a great job demystifying the art of fiction writing and fostering confidence. The instructor brought complex concepts down to earth. I will miss coming here every week.
— Miguel Ferrer
Tell me thy company, and I'll tell thee what thou art.
— Miguel de Cervantes
I'm an artist, a performer... There's an art to what we do to the wrestling... I don't want to really fight anybody.
— Mickie James
Art in the classroom not only spurs creativity, it also inspires learning.
— Mickey Hart
I started making art during high school but thought I lacked the talent to become a true artist.
— Mickalene Thomas
You know, the emotion - it comes in my art. The kind of person I am, I can deal with things, and I do and I can, but I'm not a crier.
I have a company that does design and animation, so obviously graffiti is definitely an intricate part of what we admire and respect in the art world.
— Mick Ebeling
I hit the road with a bunch of drag queens every year, sometimes two times a year. Again, as such a fan of drag, it's the art form that excites me and the longform presentation that they do. So it's super exciting to be with them, doing what they love to do and doing it well.
— Michelle Visage
'RuPaul's Drag Race' is a show about love, art, passion, acceptance, and the quest for finding America's next drag superstar. No show on the telly box has more grit than these queens.
As a young girl, I loved having stories read to me. There is something magical about narration and voiceovers. Recording a voiceover is an art form in itself.
— Michelle Phan
I always secretly loved the art of makeup as a child. I would come up with stories and characters and try on my mom's Maybelline eyeliner when she wasn't home. It was a very old-school pencil - you had to burn the tip to make it smudgy enough to use.
I have always worked well within the federal agencies to ensure New Mexicans have the resources and tools they need to succeed and cultivated valuable, bi-partisan relationships over my time in Congress in order to ensure continued full funding of New Mexico's state of the art national defense facilities and labs.
— Michelle Lujan Grisham
The School of the Art Institute is an extraordinary teaching institution by the fact that it believes that active studio artists are good teachers. That may seem an obvious statement, but in higher education, it is often the student's course evaluations that win the day with administrators.
— Michelle Grabner
I'm a big believer in building a crew. Movies are the most collaborative art form at the tend of the world, and it takes hundreds of people to make one. At the end of the day, I get the lion's share of praise or blame but everybody on the ground knows that it was all of us.
— Mike Flanagan
My parents were very, very good about not separating us as kids from their adult friends. So on any given night, we'd have, like, this kind of freak show - artists and art dealers coming over. And these are the people I feel like I learned from.
— Mike D
In order to become a master, you need to emulate. If you're going to be as big as Warhol has become in art, then you have to have younger generations who are exploring your work and trying to understand it like a language.
— Mike Bidlo
I don't think that I've ever really been interested in many other things aside from music and making art in general.
Art distills sensations and embodies it with enhanced meaning.
— Miguel de Unamuno
When thou art at Rome, do as they do at Rome.
I love art, painting, and drawing and studying art, like Rembrandt and Van Gogh.
I don't buy art. I'd rather buy a beautiful location or a beautiful site than buy art. A beautiful home is like owning a beautiful painting, except you can live in it.
— Mickey Drexler
When I decided to go to art school, it wasn't necessarily something I thought I needed. No one talked about graduate school when I was an undergrad. I went on to a residency at the Studio Museum in Harlem, and that transition from Yale to the Studio Museum, that was the real beginning of my professional career.
There's a great desire for people to alter themselves, but it's also the art of transformation. 'I want a bigger butt; I want bigger boobs.' The artifice interests me - how we're capable of altering ourselves. There's a creative element that's very intriguing.
For most of us, art is supposed to do something more than simply mirror the confusions of the world.
— Michiko Kakutani
I agree with Ru that it'll never be mainstream, because mainstream means everybody knows it, everybody loves it, everybody accepts it. That's never gonna happen with drag, but it's definitely become more mainstreamed for people that never knew anything about it, being opened up to it as a form of art.
Style is objective, akin to art, so it varies.
I didn't start wearing makeup until I was in art school, and many of the techniques I learned on canvas, I applied to makeup.
Art was a way for me to express myself and for me to also escape because it was tough growing up as a child. We didn't have a lot of money. I was always creating. I was writing stories. I was doing comic books. I made my own universe.
Contemporary curators orbit in the place of distribution and consumption, and less and less in the space of artists. I think it has become a lazy profession in regard to its relationship to the artists and the vigorous state of art making.
We do learn a thing or two from art. It may not be the one-to-one instruction of a moral lesson or the rote learning of a grammatical rule or mathematical concept. But the habits of mind art cultivates are important.
— Michelle Dean
I started using film as part of live theatre performance - what used to be called performance art - and I became intrigued by film.
— Mike Figgis
I wanted to create this dialogue between music and visual art and vice versa. No matter what part of the spectrum they fill, whether it's visual, music, or whatever, artists are interested in other art forms. Your brain is already kind of firing in that way.
I'm a big illustration and comic book fan. In my eyes, comic books and illustration are the same kind of art forms.
— Mika
Art is based on emotion, but being macho is based on ego; the wall protecting that emotion.
— Miguel
Our strategy in dealing with patents in Mono is the same strategy that any other software developer would take. In the event of a patent claim, we will try to find prior art to the claim of the patent.
— Miguel de Icaza
In Spain, after the dictatorship, thanks to Pedro Almodovar, many artists put on the streets through art a big explosion of freedom.
— Miguel Angel Silvestre
I got a BFA in Fine Art, and then I told my family I was going to be an actress.
— Mickey Sumner
Once I made the decision to make art despite the obstacles and to make this my priority, things just opened up for me.
I started making art with art therapy. It's what I know how to do. I got a lot of criticism for that when I was in school. But I think it works for me.
I define my work as a feminist act and a political act because I'm black and a woman. You don't necessarily have to claim that, but the act of making art itself is a political and feminist act when you're a woman.
Drag is never going to be completely mainstream because it's still a queer art form.
Ru and I have been best friends since, well, let's just say they used the telegraph when we first met. Being able to work with my BFF is a dream come true and even more? To see what he has done for himself, the art of drag and the gay community in general constantly blows me away.
We love trans women; all of us know that drag wouldn't be an art form without trans women. I know that, RuPaul knows that, everybody in the gay community knows that. Trans women have always been a part of and the face of drag. And I can guarantee trans women will always be a part of 'RuPaul's Drag Race.'
I see videomaking as an art - it's not a process for me.
I had a blog and was documenting my life as a college student in an art school. I had a few comments left by a few girls asking if I could do a tutorial on how I did my makeup. I didn't think my makeup was all that special, but I try my best to share whatever I can with my viewers.
I need to be working with the art world in N.Y.C. as much as I need to be working in my studios in Chicago and rural Wisconsin.
