Art is a refining and evocative translation of the materials of the world..

I take classified materials very seriously and always have..

Music remains the most strange of the materials because we don't understand what happens when music moves you..

I don't think I'm going to be priest material..

Painting is so much more than the materials..

It doesn't matter so much where the material comes from, as long as it's good..

I always viewed life as material for a movie..

I'm just happy that people have recognised me as leading man material..

I've never revised my opinion of myself as an actor. I've always thought I was as good as my material..

Production is not the application of tools to materials, but logic to work..

I swear, you are the only person I know who makes decisions based on what will provide the best material for a diary..

When you're doing something where you really like the material, it doesn't matter what medium it's in..

A lot of the stuff I am now seeing is edgy, raw kinda material..

When you start, it's not to do with the material so much. It's more to do with how you can control a crowd and make friends with an audience and sell….

Twyla Tharp put it together from the material I wrote and recorded over my whole career. I thought it was pretty good, but how objective could I be?.

The material dictates the approach..

...knowledge of material reality is the knowledge of death..

Surprise, unpredictability: these are the main materials of creativity..

I have such a great band. We had played all this material on the road. I just wanted to let it fly..

Each material is only what we make it..

It's hard to know where your thoughts come from, especially when you have a thirst for material because you need it professionally..
