Quotes

[Alexandra Poston]

When my friends noticed that I was using some quotes commonly from day to day to help myself trudge on or inspire, I began to start up a journal of quotes to referance in case I ever forgot them.

What are some quotes that constantly itch at your mind? What inspires you? I'd like to hear them so that I can add them to my journal of quotes! Here are some that I'm always using, almost everyday:

" We are all amateurs, because we can never live long enough to become anything more."
- Chaplin

"An artist can draw anything,"
I tell myself this when I begin to doubt myself in drawing something. You can do it!

" Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard."

" If you can draw, you can paint, you just don't know it yet."
-My storyboarding teacher :D

Those are just a few, I'll add more when I get my hands on my journal.
C'mon, kids, post'um oop :)

1) Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.
2) I'm so hungry I could eat a farmers ass through a hedge.
3) Hollywood called: They want to know what you're going to do for a face when King Kong wants his ass back.

"A beautifully animated art film can give the same absolute delight as the fluidity of movement, the grace, the perfect balance of great ballet dancers." -- Louise Beaudet, Cinematheque Quebecoise, Pegbar, 1987

"Animation's ability to instantly dissolve the representational into the abstract, to leap associatively with ease, and to render simultaneously a flood of images, perceptions, and perspectives, makes it an unparalleled form of cinema" -- Tom McSorely, Take One, Summer 1997

"The ability to deconstruct a movement and reassemble it in a new or convincing way is the animator's territory. Many artists have realized their visions using animation as a means to externalize their inner thoughts and unique points of view. Animation gives the viewer the opportunity to gaze at a frozen moment of thought and to experience another person's rhythms." -- Christine Panushka , USC, 1997

"Kinetic Art is the first new category of art since prehistory. It took until this century to discover the art that moves. Had we taken the aesthetic qualities of sound as much for granted as we have taken those of motion, we would not now have music. But now, in kinetic art and animation, we have begun to compose motion. We've all been conditioned to viewing film as an adjunct to drama and literature, as a medium for story-telling. These virtues are absolutely secondary to the kinetic fine-art end of motion composition." -- Len Lye, animator, kinetic sculptor, Figures of Motion, 1964

"Where do people go for alternative animation? I don't know, and I am concerned... Animation still isn't properly appreciated as an art in galleries and museums. If you mention it to curators, they do not seem to be truly interested." -- Adrienne Mancia, Curator of Film Exhibitions, Museum of Modern Art, New York, Animation World Magazine, 1997

"Live-action film is a subset of animated film." -- Ruth Hayes (paraphrased)

Walter Disney:

-I don’t make pictures just to make money. I make money to make more pictures

-I only hope that we don’t lose sight of one thing — that it was all started by a mouse

-I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained

-You’re dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway

-I’ve never believed in doing sequels. I didn’t want to waste the time I have doing a sequel; I’d rather be using that time doing something new and different

-Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world

-We believed in our idea — a family park where parents and children could have fun- together

-I take great pride in the artistic development of cartoons. Our characters are made to go through emotions which a few short years ago would have seemed impossible to secure with a cartoon character. Some of the action produced in the finished cartoon of today is more graceful than anything possible for a human to do

NO, I don't live by that. I just say it because it sounds funny.
