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]
Hooper: For years in this industry, whenever an African American character, hero or villain, was introduced - usually by *white* artists and writers - they got slapped with racist names that singled them out as Negroes. Now, my book, "White-Hatin' Coon," don't have none of that bullshit. The hero's name is Maleekwa, and he's a descendant from the black tribe that established the first society on the planet, while all you European motherfuckers were still hiding in caves and shit, all terrified of the sun. He's a strong role model that a young black reader can look up to. 'Cause I'm here to tell you, the chickens is coming home to roost, y'all. The black man's no longer gonna play the minstrel in the medium of comics and sci-fi fantasy. We keepin' it real, and we gonna get respect by any means necessary. Holden: Ah, come on, that's a bunch of horse shit! Lando Calrissian was a black guy. You know. He got to fly the Millennium Falcon, what's the matter with you? Hooper: Who said that? Holden: I did! Lando Calrissian is a positive role-model in the realm of science-fiction/fantasy. Hooper: Fuck Lando Calrissian! Uncle Tom nigger!
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?
Eno: The history of art is largely about the implementation of masculinity.That is such bullshit.Part of some Darwinian imperative. Most artists become artists because they have no way to attract a mate. I hardly think I'm the first to point out that the vast preponderance of artists are, shall we say physiologically deficient in some way.
Harvey Pekar: So... what are you worried about then? Joyce Brabner: Well, it's the way... it's the way all the different artists draw you. Harvey Pekar: What? Joyce Brabner: You know, I don't really know what to expect. Sometimes you look like a younger Brando... but then the way Crumb draws you, you look... like a hairy ape, with all these wavy, stinky lines undulating off your body. I don't really know what to expect. Harvey Pekar: No, those are motion lines. I'm an active guy!
Art Dodge: Real artists don't need words.
