Honor all feelings - Marc Jacobs
Mr. Jacobs, how would you describe your ultimate goal as a designer?
To make nice things and to get them out there so people can enjoy them.
Is success a key to happiness?
I don’t know, I don’t know what the key to happiness is. Happy is just a feeling like every other feeling. I certainly feel happy some days and in general I am pretty happy, but I have all the other feelings as well. So...

Patti Smith says,
Anybody?
Rock ‘n’ roll belongs to the people. When I started playing I couldn’t sing very well and I couldn’t play any instrument. I didn’t know anything about technology. I’d never been in front of a microphone. I didn’t know shit, but I did know rock ‘n’ roll and I did believe that it was mine and I was one of the people and it was my art and I felt it was my right to get up and embrace it...

Sunshine of Today - Mick Jagger
What feelings do you have when you think about the fact that one day the era of the Rolling Stones will be over?
Everyone’s life comes to an end. And all around us, you and me, our life will come to an end. You will stop being a journalist and you will die. So what can I tell you? We’re all going to come to the same fate. So you just keep going while you can, doing what you like. So I am just...

A Big Life.
You take pictures, publish books, and direct movies. What do you consider your job description?
I am someone who wakes up in the middle of the night and thinks about the things that I hope for. I end up putting those things in my films and my photographs and my books.
Besides dreaming, what keeps you going?
I try to have a big life.

Leonardo's Connection
Ultimately I read a script and I say, “Woah, I am emotionally engaged in this.” I never think about the subject matter, what it will be to popular culture, what it means historically – ultimately all that stuff passes and this movie will come out and it’s either good or it’s not. So that’s the only way I know how to pick films, otherwise I am not connected to it.
So do you put other things...

It doesn’t make you special though. - Sir Anthony...
Do you think actors and filmmakers have a more powerful inner life? People often say actors are more emotional, more sensitive.
Well, I always distrust the word art when it is applied to acting. I’ve always liked to be a meat and potatoes kind of actor who doesn’t believe in any of the highfalutin stuff about acting, so I tend to be a little bit more cynical. But I guess it is a creative...

GOVAN: Of course, one of the most beautiful moments ofRoden Crater is when, after climbing the main tunnel at night, walking toward a dark circle, you allow the viewer to literally pierce that circular black veil by going up a staircase, and walking through that seemingly solid black ceiling into the night sky as the stars and planets begin to appear for you.
TURRELL: Yes, on a moonless night,...

NICKAS: What attracts you to a person? What happens when, walking in the street, you think, I have to photograph this person.
TILLMANS: I heard this wonderful quote the other day, “Only the brave show what they love.” It’s so embarrassing to approach somebody and say you want to look at them. But without that risk taking, nothing can happen, so I have to make myself vulnerable. What I think is...
