The only thing approaching art in a movie is the script.

I don't worry about whether anyone knows anything about art.

I began to exercise a lot of cinematic muscle with the precepts I had learned in the New York art world. Film was intriguing. I began to think of art as elitist; film was not.

Movies were never an art form, they were entertainment. It just evolved into an art form from there, and it's still evolving in different ways.

The first thing one must remember about film is that it is a young medium. And it is essential for every responsible artist to cultivate the ground that has been left fallow.

I think a smart person today realizes that you have to be part of the art films that are done just for the sake of the art.

I cannot tell good art from bad art. I have no eye for it.

Children's finger-painting came under the arts, but movies didn't.

I grew up thinking art was pictures until I got into music and found I was an artist and didn't paint.
