Art

“Sou actor desde 1856. Dizem que faço rir na comedia, chorar no drama e finjo de tenor nas operetas.”

“U nas jest inaczej – aktor to człowiek, który ma swój normalny, przeciętny los, ale może wypowiedzieć to, czego słowa owej wewnętrznej treści nigdy nie wyrażą, stając twarzą w twarz do twarzy podobnej.”

“It is so easy to paint like your master & to think other people's thoughts, the difficulty is to be yourself.”

“I want to popularize gymnastics—it’s the sport closest to the arts that we have.”

“모든 연기는 나로부터 시작된다고 생각한다.”

“Damn everything but the circus!”

“As an artist, I have never been on a mission to educate.”

“المهم باختصار - أن تكون صادقا مع نفسك.. وصادقا مع فنك”

“All I can do is make the art and perform it with conviction.”

“There had been no sculptor in my country for seventeen hundred years and the images that appeared among the ruins and sands at the edge of the desert were considered accursed, evil — no one should go near.”

“If you can fake people out, truly, that's the art.”

“I’m an artist, not a gangster.”

““Now we should talk about our history, make films about the human condition, the everyday drama of people, and I think, sophisticated comedies, good comedies.””

“Not mixed, but shining through each other, like blood through natural skin.”

“Art also is a kind of language – but it’s a language of feeling.”

“Making films that are liked isn’t the be all and end all.”

“If a pebble or an egg can be enjoyed for the sake of its shape only, it is one step towards a true appreciation of sculpture.”

“The prototype in nature has got to be seen through terms of art. A metamorphosis has to take place.”
