[Studying a Miró painting] Raymond Deagan: So, what's your opinion on modern art? Cathy Whitaker: It's hard to put into words, really. I just know what I care for and what I don't. Like this... I don't know how to pronounce it... Mira? Raymond Deagan: Miró. Cathy Whitaker: Miró. I don't know why, but I just adore it. The feeling it gives. I know that sounds terribly vague. Raymond Deagan: No. No, actually, it confirms something I've always wondered about modern art. Abstract art. Cathy Whitaker: What's that? Raymond Deagan: That perhaps it's just picking up where religious art left off, somehow trying to show you divinity. The modern artist just pares it down to the basic elements of shape and color. But when you look at that Miró, you feel it just the same.
[Ryan accidentally dials an artist on a payphone at Santa Monica Pier trying to reach Jessica's kidnappers] Ryan: I got what you're looking for. Vietnamese Artist: Oh? Ryan: Yeah. Vietnamese Artist: Okay, and what I do for it? Ryan: What? Vietnamese Artist: What I do for what I looking for? You tell me now. Ryan: Wait, who's this? What number did I call? Vietnamese Artist: You call me on the payphone. You waste my time. I have pictures to draw. Ryan: Whoa, whoa, whoa, dude. Chill out. Vietnamese Artist: No, you don't tell me what to chill. My mother tell me to chill. I sit here, I draw people telling me to chill out all the time. You don't tell me what to chill. I chill you.
Terri Fletcher: Have you ever lost anyone? Mr. Torvald: Yeah. Terri Fletcher: I just can't let this go. Mr. Torvald: Well, you're an artist and artists feel things differently than regular people. Look at Patsy Cline or Billie Holiday. You can hear it in their voice. Or, Vincent van Gogh. Cut off his ear, but hey, he could paint. Terri Fletcher: Vincent van Gogh killed himself. Mr. Torvald: That's right. That's a bad example. Hey, I'm a music teacher not a shrink. What do you want? I guess... what I'm trying to say is, artists convey emotion. They make an audience feel what they're feeling. You know, that's what it's all about, right? You just have to find a way to take what's in here [Points to his head] Mr. Torvald: and put it in here [points to his heart]
Mameha: [in voiceover] Remember, Chiyo, geisha are not courtesans. And we are not wives. We sell our skills, not our bodies. We create another secret world, a place only of beauty. The very word "geisha" means artist and to be a geisha is to be judged as a moving work of art.
David Shayne: I've become involved with Helen Sinclair, and I feel terrible. But I can't help myself. She's so charismatic, and she's brilliant and beautiful. I mean, a real artist, and, and we speak the same language. Sheldon Flender: You're wracked with guilt. David Shayne: I'm wracked with guilt. Sheldon Flender: You're wracked with guilt. You are wracked with guilt. David Shayne: I don't know whether... I can't sleep. Sheldon Flender: Guilt is petit-bourgeois crap. An artist creates his own moral universe. David Shayne: I know that. I know... Sheldon Flender: Well? What is the problem then? I'm gonna give you some advice. The same advice that was given to me many years ago when I had a very similar dilemma. David Shayne: Similar to mine. To... Sheldon Flender: Yes. Yes. David Shayne: What did you do? What? Sheldon Flender: You gotta do what you gotta do.
Ruth the News Anchor: Good afternoon I'm Ruth Kimbell with your hometown news. For 36 hours Ryan Harrison, Murderer, all around big dink has been a fugitive. Lt. Fergus Falls is heading a worldwide manhunt. Police helicopters, dogs, psychics, and thousands of police are involved. Plus millions of average citizens who would give their left nut to collect the 50 thousand dollar reward, and who couldn't use a bit of extra money? A couple on a fixed income, a teacher, especially a struggling artist who had to return a large fee because someone hated her portrait. I personally wouldn't trust somebody like that for a million, billion, trillion dollars. Columbia heights jamboree is shaping- [Ryan mutes the TV. The newscaster begins freaking out because she cannot hear herself]
Narrator (Old Sayuri): It is not for Geisha to want. It is not for a Geisha to feel. Geisha is an artist of the floating world. She dances, she sings, she entertains you... What ever you want... the rest is shadows, the rest is secret.
Donald Falk: [to Lily as she watches a performance artist] That's Peter the Performance artist as he likes to refer to it, self as show. Someday, with any luck somebody will put him out of his misery.
Killer: An artist never stops working. He's always gathering material, preparing a new study.
Jimmy: Jerome, are you exceptionally skilled as a cocksucker? It wasn't a rhetorical question. Are you a great artist when it comes to fellatio?
Gabe Frear: When an artist dies, his work becomes ten times more valuable than it was when he was alive. Most artists are only recognized as such posthumously. They spend their entire lives ignored, unappreciated. But once dead, they become famous. Why can we only truly appreciate something when it's gone?
Brooke: Yea, I completely agree with you. You know, an art teacher of mine once said. Never buy a piece of art that you don't have to have. You know, don't worry about who the artist is or how much it's worth. I mean, you have to live with it everyday. You have to walk by it everyday. You have to really love it; you have to really appreciate it. It's kind of like picking a mate.
Curt Wild: Listen, a real artist creates beautiful things and puts nothing of his own life into them, OK?
[Ray's decorating a cake] Carl: You know, Ray. Your like an artist [starts eating some of the cake Ray's working on] Carl: , just like that Diangelo guy. [grabs another piece off] Ray Gleason: You mean, Michaelangelo? Carl: Yeah, that's him. But instead of paint/plaster, you decorate cakes. Ray Gleason: [suddenly sees Carl eating the cake] Did you just take that off the cake? Carl: [looks guilty] Ray Gleason: Don't do that! You know how long I've worked on this cake? [Ray looks away to check on Bobby. While doing so, Carl grabs another icing chunk off the cake, but Ray catches him] Ray Gleason: Did you just poke the cake again? Carl: [looks guilty] Ray Gleason: Go stand over there next to Bobby!
Tony Smith: About if an artist is good - What do you think of Picasso? Jackson Pollock: Yeah, he has been. Tony Smith: DeKooning? Jackson Pollock: He's alright, he's learning.
Cody: An artist is someone who is starving in their twenties. I'm thirty-two. I'm a deadbeat.
Young Jerome: [dressed as Pablo Picasso] I am a genius. I am the greatest artist of the twentieth century. I pretty much invented modern art, and I do weird abstract paintings even though I could paint totally realistic if I wanted to. Also, even though I am super short and bald, I am able to have sex with any beautiful woman I want just because I'm so great.
Older Lily: Do you know how a photograph is made? The camera takes in the light through the lens, the aperture opens, and the focused light slices into the camera, embedding the image forever onto the film. The film is developed, and the images are resurrected with chemicals. [pause] Older Lily: Do you know how a photograph is really made? Assistant: You just said, the aperture opens and… Older Lily: A photograph is made in the mind of the photographer. He points his paintbrush and captures a moment, a temporal thief, he stops the clock for that one instant, and stores it in his camera. He captures an emotion, an event, or most poignantly, some indescribable nuance, that every person who sees the picture identifies, but can't put into words. Assistant: You really love it, don't you? Older Lily: He once told me, "The job of an artist is to make order out of chaos". Do you think that's true? Assistant: Sure. In a film negative everything is the opposite of what it looks like. Black is white, White is black. All the things you expect are switched around.
