My favorite color is black.
I love linen in soothing colors for any room in the house.
Words in a person's word stock are like paints on a palette. It helps to have just the right shade when you need it.
If I'm painting, I paint every day. I'll be up in the studio from 8:00 in the morning to 8:00 at night.
I think of me being a painter eventually.
How can any one paint who cannot grade colors? How can any one write poetry who has not learnt to hear and see?
I have a visual sense for the music. It has to stay true to a certain sense of period. I rely on a sense of colors and mood in my approach to the arrangement.
There's one thing which I hate about color films... people who use up a lot of their despairing producer's money by working in the laboratory to bring out the dominant hues, or to make color films where there isn't any color.
The painter I really thought I could learn from was Cezanne - some sort of resemblance to oranges and greens and browns of the dry season in St. Lucia.
I don't know if you've ever knit a sweater, but by the end of it, you're like, 'Ugh I can't wear this. I can't stand the color. I'm so tired of it.'
Great art direction is NOT the same thing as great film direction!
I paint daily with watercolors on 5-by-7-inch pads that are small enough for me to take them everywhere.
I love fashion, and I simply enjoy good design in clothes and regard that as one of my hobbies.
I like to dress for my body type and for my coloring.
My idea of fashion is very basic.
Visually, I'm always considering shots and composition quite a lot, and I love putting art into films, and I do a lot of the art.
I've never liked to conceptualize too much about fashion, like it was art or science, which it is not. But it's nice when there's a clear idea behind a collection.
The first time at Louis Vuitton was Spring 2009 season, and I remember that the colors of the clothes were very dreamy.
I don't want the viewer to be able to peel away the layers of my painting like the layers of an onion and find that all the blues are on the same level.
Color is a big part of what I do. It's like music. There are only so many notes in the scale, but there are endless permutations; there's no limit to the number. Color on the walls or furniture can reflect back and distort the reality of the true colors of lipsticks and eye shadow.
I'm a huge Wes Anderson fan. I literally love every single film. He hasn't made a bad film; I've seen every single one. They've all been brilliant, from 'Bottle Rocket' up to 'Moonrise Kingdom,' they've all been wonderful.
For one thing, I am still working as an adviser on fashion, design and colour and stuff.
'The Shining' is operatic and sensational and... really shocking. It has this amazing meld of classical music and modern interpretations of classical music, and incredible imagery. From the set design to the costumes, there's so much to unpack.
Color is a very personal thing. You need to make sure to choose a color that makes you happy. But I don't recommend accent walls - choose a color you can live with on all four walls.
I've designed since I was 12. The first was when I skated to Carmen, in red and gold and black. I wanted so many frills at that time. It had a lot going on for a little person like me. And I picked out fabrics that didn't stretch. Very uncomfortable.
