picture

We live in an image society. Speeches are not what anybody cares about what they care about is the picture.

The picture alone, without the written word, leaves half the story untold.

For all my success with the Ramones, I carried around fury and intensity during my career. I had an image, and that image was anger. I was the one who was always scowling, downcast. I tried to make sure I looked like that when I was getting my picture taken.

Ah, lives of men! When prosperous they glitter - Like a fair picture; when misfortune comes - A wet sponge at one blow has blurred the painting.

In traditional Asian arts, the word and the picture always sit next to each other. I have an aunt, a Chinese brush painter, who told me that when you do a Chinese brush painting, you have to pair the image up with some poetry.

Every relationship between persons causes a picture of each to take form in the mind of the other, and this picture evidently is in reciprocal relationship with that personal relationship.

And even Moonstruck - for some reason the audience were just in the mood for a very romantic film, because it's one of the few romantic comedies to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.

Moonstruck... was one of the few romantic comedies to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.

I saw Tequila Sunrise as a romantic picture with complex, bigger than life characters.

Life is painting a picture, not doing a sum.

There's evidence of a social decline in direct proportion to technology and the industrialization of the motion picture industry.

It is the framework which changes with each new technology and not just the picture within the frame.

When it comes to politics today, the devils' not in the details; the devil's in the big picture, more often than not just hiding in plain sight.

In politics, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Every picture shows a spot with which the artist has fallen in love.

As long as you're true to you, you believe it and you make others believe it, then what you're doing is just art. If you give everybody a blank canvas and some paint, not everybody's picture is going to be exactly the same, but it's still art. I just do what I do.

Actually I think Art lies in both directions - the broad strokes, big picture but on the other hand the minute examination of the apparently mundane. Seeing the whole world in a grain of sand, that kind of thing.
