"Well, any time you do anything good, it’s man versus himself, right? That’s the art, the challenge." ― John Cusack Topic(s): Art More From John Cusack "I have a bit of a rebellious nature." "Texas women have an amazing sense of purpose when they lose it. They’re the best girls in the world – they’re loyal and fun, but when they get mad, they’ll try to kill you." "It seems to me that one thing people do over and over again is try to figure out how to get married, stay married, fall in love, how to rekindle all this stuff. It seems to me to be a pretty eternal theme so I don’t know if you can get typecast from making movies about men relating to women. It seems to be what is going on on the planet a lot." More In Art "So long as the system of competition in the production and exchange of the means of life goes on, the degradation of the arts will go on; and if that system is to last for ever, then art is doomed, and will surely die; that is to say, civilization will die."― William Morris "Art produces ugly things which frequently become more beautiful with time. Fashion, on the other hand, produces beautiful things which always become ugly with time."― Jean Cocteau "When you live under the power of terror and segregation, you can’t ever start a work of art."― Jeanne Moreau
