Sometimes I miss out the mornings painting session and instead study my Japanese books in the open. – Gustav Klimt
There is nothing that special to see when looking at me. Im a painter who paints day in day out, from morning till evening – figure pictures and landscapes, more rarely portraits. – Gustav Klimt
Whoever wants to know something about me – as an artist which alone is significant – they should look attentively at my pictures and there seek to recognise what I am and what I want. – Gustav Klimt
I never want to make a film. I dont wake up in the morning going, Ooh, Id really love to be on set making a film today. Im aware that other contemporary film directors perceive film-making as what they do, as what they have to do. But I would hope that I am more catholic in my tastes. – Stephen Daldry
