A make-up artist I know polished her Oscar and it lost its lustre. But if you don't polish it, it doesn't tarnish.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's been awhile. My Oscar is getting kind of tarnished. I looked at it a couple of years ago and thought I really needed a new one.
I know it's superficial, and you can't measure art, which is supposed to be up to the individual, but I've watched the Oscars since I was a baby with my mother.
There's nothing more superficial to do than to paint a beautiful woman. The most beautiful portraits in art were of ugly women. If you paint Brigitte Bardot, it's a disaster. Sunsets, you have to stay away from sunsets. You paint a sunset, you are in great danger.
To do a dull thing with style-now that's what I call art.
You don't make pictures for Oscars.
Art is like baby shoes. When you coat them with gold, they can no longer be worn.
I found a red Oscar de la Renta raincoat, and it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
When you do a film, all you want is to make the best film possible. You don't think about Oscars. But it's really flattering. Please, bring it on!
An uninspiring canvas becomes a glamorous masterpiece when it is reattributed to a better-known artist.
I don't have any artifacts of my profession in my house; the Oscar is in storage.
