More quotes by Robert Barry
If I'm reading something and a word pops up, or I just catch it, I try to mark it off and then, later, write it down on a piece of paper and add it to my list.
Robert Barry
If somebody gives me a chance to do something, I am going to use that space, that time, that light, that whatever it is and try and work with it.
Robert Barry
I was always - I was a movie nut. I lived in the movies, really.
Robert Barry
I relied mainly on other artists, who I think are smarter than critics, any critics or curators or anybody like that. They really know.

Robert Barry
I try to create a kind of dynamic thing that hopefully some people will become interested in. And what they do with it after that is sort of up to them. But it's a specific item, it's a specific thing that I've done. And what they do with it is their problem.

When you present works of art, one thing I've learned is that if you're lucky - [Laughs] - there will be those few people who, shall we say, get it? Really become engaged, become moved by it in their own way. You cannot control what other people are going to think about it.
Robert Barry
I may have a lot of political opinions but it doesn't necessarily come into my work. I keep the two worlds separate.
Robert Barry
I was good at art - always good at art.
Robert Barry
I was also very interested in music. I used to hang out in jazz joints, you know, the Five Spot and so forth when I was, you know, a senior, really, when I was a little bit older. And I thought, well, maybe I could, you know, work with music. I can't play at all.
Robert Barry
I'm always looking for relations between my work and the old masters.
Robert Barry
I never stop thinking about what I have to do. Let's put it that way. The only thing that takes me out of that is probably a film. I watch a lot of movies.
Robert Barry
I'm my own worst critic. I mean, I know what's wrong with everything that I've done.
Robert Barry
I was a filmmaker. I made movies. I made films. And I always took photos and made films, always from the beginning.
Robert Barry
I really wasn't about to get a Ph.D. in art history, you know, which you'd absolutely needed. And that was not something I wanted. And I loved art history, but not that way.
Robert Barry
I like contrasting between black and white and color.
Robert Barry
I was at one point thinking about being an art historian, when I was in school. And not being an artist, but I decided I was going to be an artist but I'm really mad for art history and the masters mostly.
Robert Barry
You can't just suddenly change gears and reverse yourself or go to the left or the right because there is no left or right. There's always a certain direction that you're moving in.
Robert Barry
I shoot a lot of video, first of all, whatever I think is interesting, just my travels hard to say why. If something looks good, I take a picture or try to shoot it.
