Part of my agenda has been to support art that engages life with people.

I'm very supportive of creative people being paid for the work that they do.

We have to support our local artists. It's just that simple. Otherwise, we will have no art.

We all must support the arts, as it is our culture. It makes us better people. It makes us happy; it gives us empathy and shows us how to live. It is so important.

I have respect for those who make money at art and do it well and smartly, because that commercial aspect keeps the world going and running, in a sense.

I love meeting contributors and hearing how we inspire them to create art. I'm also proud of creating hundreds of jobs.

Art gives people a reason to be alive.

We have to show support for artists who are trying to own things for themselves.

I feel like, to me, art is a ladder to God, in my own opinion, you know. And so, for me, the more people that I can reach through many different artistic avenues, the better.

I have a healthy view of what one can do with art.
