"I told Miyazaki I love the “gratuitous motion” in his films; instead of every movement being dictated by the story, sometimes people will just sit for a moment, or they will sigh, or look in a running stream, or do something extra, not to advance the story but only to give the sense of time and place and who they are. “We have a word for that in Japanese,” he said. “It’s called ma. Emptiness. It’s there intentionally.” Is that like the “pillow words” that separate phrases in Japanese poetry? “I don’t think it’s like the pillow word.” He clapped his hands three or four times. “The time in between my clapping is ma. If you just have non-stop action with no breathing space at all, it’s just busyness, But if you take a moment, then the tension building in the film can grow into a wider dimension. If you just have constant tension at 80 degrees all the time you just get numb."
Roger Ebert, on Hayao Miyazaki (via moonbrains)

These guys just slayed the #VMAs — meanwhile I discovered that my photo of them is on a giant poster across the ocean at the Reading and Leeds Festivals! I believe that credit for the original photo of this poster goes to a fan named Laura Williams! Thank you!

John Baldessari (via courtneycoles)
You are just obsessed, or you’re not.
I have always told students that talent is cheap- you have to be possessed, or obsessed, rather. I have seen so many talented students just stop doing it because they can’t live off it- they want to go out to dinner like their friends, or have a house, or get married. You really have to feel like you cannot do art, and that is something you can’t will. You are just obsessed, or you’re not.
