I adore the theater and I am a painter. I think the two are made for a marriage of love. I will give all my soul to prove this once more.
Marc ChagallRead
For me a stained glass window is a transparent partition between my heart and the heart of the world.
Interpretation
What this quote means
A stained glass window serves as a connection, allowing the artist to express feelings while still maintaining a separation from the world.
In this quote, Marc Chagall uses the metaphor of a stained glass window to illustrate how art acts as a conduit between his inner emotions and the external world. The transparent nature of the window represents the artist's ability to share his heart with others, while the stained glass signifies that there is still a boundary that preserves the sanctity of his personal feelings. Thus, it highlights the dual role of art as both a means of connection and a protective barrier.

I think everyone who makes movies should be forced to do television. Because you have to finish. You have to get it done, and there are a lot of decisions made just for the sake of making decisions. You do something because it's efficient and because it gets the story told and it connects to the audience.
