One thing about being a stand-up is it's a one-man show. You gotta do everything. You're the producer, writer, director, and the actor. You just gotta be out there and perform and give your all. It's such an honest form of art that it just taught me so much, and it kind of prepared me for manhood at an early age. Nick Cannon actorageart share on social

One interesting thing about jazz, or art in general, but jazz especially is such an individual art form in the sense that improvisation is such a big part of it, so it feels like it should be less soldiers in an army and more like free spirits melding. And yet, big band jazz has a real military side to it. Damien Chazelle armyartband share on social

I love and collect contemporary art and go to all the art fairs. I love Damien Hirst and Matthew Barney.

People are richer and more complex than just their day-to-day professional pursuits might suggest. Nouriel Roubini artbarneycollect share on social
Middle grade fiction, to me, is really about emergence of self. It's about expressing the idea that the world is going to start affecting you more, and your parents' influence is going to wane. Middle grade is when a lot of kids discover their passions - art, music, sports, what have you. Greg van Eekhout affectartdiscover share on social
