So we just kind of created our own thing and that's part of the beauty of Athens: is that it's so off the map and there's no way you could ever be the East Village or an L.A. scene or a San Francisco scene that it just became its own thing.

My beauty icons are women whose images are self-created.

There are two ways to worry words. One is hoping for the greatest possible beauty in what is created. The other is to tell the truth.

This is the beauty of the Qur'an: it asks you to reflect and reason and not to worship the sun or moon but the One who has created everything. The Qur'an asks man to reflect upon the sun and moon and God's creation in general.

I love Rauschenberg. I love that he created a turning point in visual history that he redefined the idea of beauty that he combined painting sculpture photography and everyday life with such gall and that he was interested in as he put it 'the ability to conceive failure as progress.'

Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man.

I separated from the Southern Baptists when they adopted the discriminatory attitude towards women because I believe what Paul taught in Galatians that there is no distinction in God's eyes between men and women slaves and masters Jews and non-Jews - everybody is created equally in the eyes of God.

History has remembered the kings and warriors because they destroyed art has remembered the people because they created.

Robert Rauschenberg was not a giant of American art he was the giant. No American created so many aesthetic openings for so many artists.

Growing up going to Christian school and the concept that you're born a sinner and you don't really have a choice to change who you are has been hammered into my head and created the entire reason why I made art and made a band and made records called 'Antichrist Superstar.'

Europe is so well gardened that it resembles a work of art a scientific theory a neat metaphysical system. Man has re-created Europe in his own image.

Art begins with resistance - at the point where resistance is overcome. No human masterpiece has ever been created without great labor.

Japanese traditional architecture is created based on these conditions. This is the reason you have a very high degree of connection between the outside and inside in architecture.

I love heels... whoever created heels is amazing!

Well just meeting J. K. Rowling was amazing because she created all this world. And all the fans we all get so obsessed with it and then you met the one person who made it all up. It was just so amazing. And I was just so amazed that that she wrote this book and all of the films have happened.

It's been amazing how this crazy career has been created. I feel that it's been given to me. I wouldn't be anywhere without Victoria's Secret.

I've created directed and choreographed for Lady Gaga since the beginning so 'Born This Way ' this was musically such an amazing evolution and such a brilliant record. So when she played it for me it took me a while to find out the visual interpretation that I could give back to her.
