I never start anything with a really overt, political, or even exactly artistic mission statement.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A mission statement is not something you write overnight... But fundamentally, your mission statement becomes your constitution, the solid expression of your vision and values. It becomes the criterion by which you measure everything else in your life.
I've never been involved in any kind of political movement.
I have a general sense of mission, and I intuitively know when something is influencing that mission. I think this is what I'm supposed to be doing. Doors keep opening. In the end, it's the best use of my skills. I've finally consented to the idea that I'm an artist.
I studied political science and international relations, so I never considered myself an artist.
I only play projects with weird interpretations of presidents.
My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.
I never had a political power base.
To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your goal.
I don't understand how any good art could fail to be political.
My mission has always been to do something that suits everybody.
