Quote

I am an artist and a political being as well.

Some of the greatest artists did their best work when they got political.

I have a more direct avenue to expression as an artist than I ever would as a politician.

Any form of art is political if you make it that way.

All art is political in the sense that it serves someone's politics.

I was not an Abstract Expressionist. Nor was I an Irascible.

Politics is politics; art is art. If you play a political role, you have to stop being an artist.

I'm not sure I am a politician. I would say that I am still an artist, and I'm trying to use politics as an instrument for change.
