Itay Talgam Quotes

Whether you listen to a piece of music, or a poem, or look at a picture or a jug, or a piece of sculpture, what matters about it is not what it has in common with others of its kind, but what is singularly its own.

Music and language are a vital element. We, as actors and directors, offer it to people who want to experience it. Sometimes the actual meaning is less important than the words themselves.

I painted. I wanted to be a painter. I sang.

I'm not good at talking, but I can write a good song and tell a story.

The true art is being able to take whatever the writer's done, and if it is a bit flimsy or it is a bit rushed or is just box-ticking writing, then the true artist would be able to make that come off the page and sing for an audience or a viewer. I'm still learning how to do that properly.

Every song is true and has its unique story behind it.

My mom is an artist and my own fiction is deeply visual.

The beauty of poetry is that the creation transcends the poet.
