What saddens me is the corruption of youth and beauty and the loss of soul which is only replaced by money.

I am obsessed with beauty. I want everything to be perfect and of course it isn't. And that's a tough place to be because you're never satisfied.

When I look at the majority of my own songs they really came from my own sense of personal confusion or need to express some pain or beauty - they were coming from a universal and personal place.

People often say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder ' and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look including inside ourselves.

Paris is one of the most beautiful places in all the world. Unfortunately I was so homesick I couldn't appreciate its beauty.

The most common error made in matters of appearance is the belief that one should disdain the superficial and let the true beauty of one's soul shine through. If there are places on your body where this is a possibility you are not attractive - you are leaking.

That's why I began doing makeup in the first place: I was hoping that through helping people see the beauty in themselves I could try and find it in me.

Everybody needs beauty as well as bread places to play in and pray in where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes because that is the doorway to her heart the place where love resides.

You can't really say what is beautiful about a place but the image of the place will remain vividly with you.

Hollywood's a very weird place. I think there's less of everything except for attitude.

I think that generally music should be a positive thing I like Bob Marley's attitude: he said that his goal in life was to single handedly fight all the evil in the world with nothing but music and when he went to a place he didn't go to play he went to conquer.

I do not share the half-in half-out attitude to the EU of some in Britain. Britain's place is in Europe.

The place of chess in the society is closely related to the attitude of young people towards our game.

When you retire it's a place in life a part of the journey. You just don't quit work you develop an attitude where you can do what you please.

An attitude to life which seeks fulfillment in the single-minded pursuit of wealth - in short materialism - does not fit into this world because it contains within itself no limiting principle while the environment in which it is placed is strictly limited.

I think good art does come from a dark place.

Seek art from every time and place in any form to connect with those who really move you.

What you have now is a Hollywood that is pure poison. Hollywood was a central place in the history of art in the 20th century: it was human idealism preserved. And then like any great place it collapsed and it collapsed into the most awful machinery in the world.

Art saved me it got me through my depression and self-loathing back to a place of innocence.

What the mass media offers is not popular art but entertainment which is intended to be consumed like food forgotten and replaced by a new dish.

When museums are built these days architects directors and trustees seem most concerned about social space: places to have parties eat dinner wine-and-dine donors. Sure these are important these days - museums have to bring in money - but they gobble up space and push the art itself far away from the entrance.

It's great that New York has large spaces for art. But the enormous immaculate box has become a dated even oppressive place. Many of these spaces were designed for sprawling installations large paintings and the Relational Aesthetics work of the past fifteen years.

Venice is the perfect place for a phase of art to die. No other city on earth embraces entropy quite like this magical floating mall.
