“I had the advantage of making a movie about a man who was an artist himself, and an artist of the shadows, in the sense that he understood life's lonelinesses and life's mistakes, and that people make them. In that sense, he wasn't interested in hiding them.”
James Mangold
“He is an intense man. And he's an artist, and like all the real artists, he doesn't always fit in with normal rules.”
Mario Cipollini

Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Man is no longer an artist, he has become a work of art.”
