It's a shame because we experienced probably the greatest thing - in art, in pop - we'll ever do. And it would be good to sit around and talk about it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We want people to experience art and think about it. The art reflects our time, it is about our culture.
I don't think we live in those times when great art comes out of great adversity.
It's good for art to make us think, to give us a shared experience that creates a dialogue, makes us talk to each other, including strangers.
We have no other means of recognising a work of art than our feeling for it.
We need art. We've been telling stories since the beginning. As human beings, we need it for our survival.
We have to take risks with art. If we don't, it all becomes a bit boring.
I don't mean this, but I'm going to say it anyway. I don't really think of pop art and serious art as being that far apart.
We may not like our times or many aspects of the time we live in but that is not the fault of art as such.
Unfortunately, I haven't thought sufficiently about art. What I never realized - and it's really stupid - is the art world is the art world because all these thousands of famous and not-famous artists do things, over centuries. This hadn't occurred to me.
All art really does is keep you focused on questions of humanity, and it really is about how do we get on with our maker.
