I don't think that writers or painters or filmmakers function because they have something they particularly want to say. they have something that they feel. and they like the art form; they like words, or the smell of paint, or celluloid and photographic images and working with actors. i don't think that any genuine artist has ever been oriented by some didactic point of view, even if he thought he was.

I Don't Think That Writers Or Painters

Stanley Kubrick

I don't think that writers or painters or filmmakers function because they have something they particularly want to say. they have something that they feel. and they like the art form; they like words, or the smell of paint, or celluloid and photographic images and working with actors. i don't think that any genuine artist has ever been oriented by some didactic point of view, even if he thought he was.

When you smell our candles burning, what does it make you think of, my child?" winterfell, she might have said. i smell snow and smoke and pine needles. i smell the stables. i smell hodor laughing, and jon and robb battling in the yard, and sansa singing about some stupid lady fair. i smell the crypts where the stone kings sit. i smell hot bread baking. i smell the godswood. i smell my wolf. i smell her fur, almost as if she were still beside me. "i don't smell anything," she said.

All art is propaganda. ... the only difference is the kind of propaganda. since art is essential for human life, it can't just belong to the few. art is the universal language, and it belongs to all mankind. all painters have been propagandists or else they have not been painters. ... every artist who has been worth anything in art has been such a propagandist. ... every strong artist has been a propagandist. i want to be a propagandist and i want to be nothing else. ... i want to use my art as a weapon.

Otherwise [digital revolution] hasn't changed my way of filmmaking, i'm not nostalgic in postulating we should still make films on celluloid. i love celluloid but i don't need to continue on celluloid.

I love paint. i like watercolours. i like acrylic paint... a little bit. i like house paint. i like oil-based paint, and i love oil paint. i love the smell of turpentine and i like that world of oil paint very, very, very much.

Knowing a great deal about what is in the world art, catastrophe, the beauties of nature through photographic images, people are frequently disappointed, surprised, unmoved when the see the real thing. for photographic images tend to subtract feeling from something we experience at first hand and the feelings they do arouse are, largely, not those we have in real life. often something disturbs us more in photographed form than it does when we actually experience it.

You can't make either life or art, you have to work in the hole in between, which is undefined. that's what makes the adventure of painting.

The toltec tradition tells us that we surrender a portion of our life force when we dwell on any unhealed wounding event from our past. the unprocessed emotions surrounding these events burden us and weigh heavily on our hearts. they must be dealt with if we want access to all of our vitality. ultimately, what we will find is that forgiveness is the key to reclaiming all the life force locked in past hurt.
