Amy Gerstler

Dance is the most fundamental of all art forms.

Twyla Tharp

Of all the art forms that my family dabbles in, writing suits my temperament the most.

Shweta Bachchan Nanda

Too often, it is presumed that young people will only like art that they can immediately relate to. Working-class students may be steered towards popular culture like hip-hop, new media and film on the basis that they will find older art forms such as opera or ballet irrelevant.

Munira Mirza

Movie making is not like other art forms, like painting, or writing a novel, because that can be digested or interpreted… It takes two years to make each one of these, and it’s always judged on money.

M. Night Shyamalan

But stand-up is also one of the few art forms where women aren’t judged on their appearance – possibly the only one where people are actually there to listen to what they say on stage.

Roisin Conaty

Books and movies are different art forms with different rules. And because of that, they never translate exactly.

Tom Clancy

We are engaging with so many art forms at once in the 21st century, but we’re presented with them in a way that is so isolated.

Doug Aitken

I want tap to be something danced in arenas. Sort of like a rock group. Other art forms happen every night. Take theater, opera; there’s always opera happening every night.

Savion Glover

I don’t like the idea of stepping-stones in art forms: that you do your time at a regional theatre, and then you work in London and go to the West End, and then you do films. I’ve never felt like following that trajectory.

John Tiffany

I was attracted to a lot of different art forms – dancing, painting. But there’s something about music that people hold so close. It’s such a powerful art form, and that’s why I live for it.

Ani DiFranco

I go back home for Christmas every year. Inevitably, somebody from my family will say, ‘How’s the karate going?’ I’ve told them a million times I do jiu-jitsu, but it’s always, ‘This is Riley. He does karate.’ They’re very different art forms!

Riley Stearns

I have trouble with modern art. But in general, all art forms fascinate me – art is the way human beings express what we can’t say in words.

Andrea Bocelli

Ragtime has about the same amount of respect as comics. And in a way they’re similar art forms. Ragtime is highly compositional, and the emotion in the music is built in, whereas in jazz a lot of that emotion comes from the way it’s performed.

Chris Ware

I like to mix things up and I take inspiration from many different art forms.

Netta Barzilai

I don’t see any boundaries between any of the art forms. I think they all inter-relate completely.

David Bowie

It dawned on me that comics were not an intrinsically limited medium. There was a tremendous amount of things you could do in comics that you couldn’t do in other art forms – but no one was doing it. I figured if I’d make a try at it, I’d at least be a footnote in history.

Harvey Pekar

Opera is one of the most important art forms. It should be listened to and appreciated by everyone.

What is needed in the theater, in fact for all our art forms, is a vibrant critical tradition.

F. Sionil Jose

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

Ben Harper

We started combining the use of light and the use of theatrics and the use of as many art forms as possible, and it’s still growing – that’s the whole idea of it.

Plays were really my last option. The reason I didn’t write plays initially was because I thought theatre was the worst of all the art forms.

Martin McDonagh

There’s not a lot of art forms where you can control your presentation and your ideas.

Gerard Way

For me, there are so many art forms in wrestling. There’s the Ring of Honor art, the New Japan art, so whatever you enjoy, there’s a facet of wrestling out there for you to watch.

Xavier Woods

Melodrama is one of the most stunning art forms. These are stories where the emotions are big, and the situations are big, and the artists believe in the situation dramatically. There’s no irony or distance.

James Gray

Diversity is strength. Our cinema and our art forms need to diversify so that it tells all stories, all perspectives.

Parvathy

I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.

Thornton Wilder

Jihae

Growing up in a traditional environment, I was taught the importance of art, how it’s connected to the soul, how it makes a human being. This made me understand and cherish American art forms.

Michael Horse

We haven‘t lost romance in the digital age, but we may be neglecting it. In doing so, antiquated art forms are taking on new importance. The power of a handwritten letter is greater than ever. It’s personal and deliberate and means more than an e-mail or text ever will.

Ashton Kutcher

I wanted to create this dialogue between music and visual art and vice versa. No matter what part of the spectrum they fill, whether it’s visual, music, or whatever, artists are interested in other art forms. Your brain is already kind of firing in that way.

Mike D

Poetry is one of the oldest of all art forms, and one of its powers for shamans and tribal leaders was the mnemonic.

Felix Dennis

The claims I’m making for art are simply the claims that we naturally make around music or around poetry. We’re much more relaxed around those art forms. We’re willing to ask, ‘How could this find a place in my heart?’

Alain de Botton

Historically a publicly unaccepted but incredibly rich culture, queer love was only able to exist privately for a long time, expressed in society through coded art forms.

King Princess

I’m interested in so many different things and art forms.

Alex Sharp

Architecture is one of the art forms best able to improve and revitalise cities both artistically and functionally.

Santiago Calatrava

I’m a big illustration and comic book fan. In my eyes, comic books and illustration are the same kind of art forms.

Mika

Stand-up is one of the art forms where you don’t have to look nice, and I hope it stays that way.

Roisin Conaty

Comedy is great in that it’s accessible to someone like me, from a low socioeconomic background, struggling in life. The gatekeepers are a lot stronger in other art forms.

Hannah Gadsby

I think a lot of times we think of music as being different from other art forms. You would never ask a sculptor or painter, ‘Go paint this because you’ll get paid more,’ you know what I mean?

Jose James

I love mishmash and the chaos of art forms.

John Tiffany

In some ways, jazz is the most precise of art forms and the loosest in the sense that it’s all about improvisation, but the musicianship required is kind of insane. To actually play with real jazz musicians is a different level of musicianship that almost has no equal in any other form of music in the world.

Damien Chazelle

Like most art forms, writing is part instinct and part craft. The craft part is the part that can be taught, and that can make a crucial difference to lots of writers.

Matt Haig

Movies are collaborative, and that’s part of what makes it a great experience. They’re different from a lot of other art forms, but also it makes it seem like when you see the final product, you go, ‘I wouldn’t have done that. I wouldn’t have done this.’

Casey Affleck
