I think the arts are very important for children growing up.

For a long time, I have been inclined to start a school for the talented children.

So what it boils down to, in my humble opinion, is that we need to support the arts in schools, and at every other level in the education of children.

I'd love to open a camp focusing on the arts accessible to kids from all income brackets.

Involvement in the arts engages kids in their community, improves self-esteem, reclaims at-risk youth, and builds the creative skills that are required of a 21st century workforce.

Kids deserve arts, and it's just as important as science, math, history, English or athletics.

I think the problem with the arts in America is how unimportant it seems to be in our educational system.

We grew up in a very creative environment and were exposed to the arts at a very young age, so it's not a surprise that all of us are in some form of the arts.

I'd like to work on putting art programs back in schools.

Arts education is a big part of building a 21st century creative mind, and I think that we have let way too many kids lose their way by not drawing in their young minds with music, dance, painting and the other various ways we can express those things we do not have words for.
