Culture is something that we all share, and we are all the poorer for anyone excluded from it.

Culture is the intersection of people and life itself. It's how we deal with life, love, death, birth, disappointment... all of that is expressed in culture.

Our culture is at its best when we protect and encourage the weakest. Every life - at every stage, in every place - has a dignity beyond our imagining.

I feel like our culture is so good at pulling other people down and being so judgmental, but there's space for all of us to be who we are. There's space for us to celebrate each other and root for each other and not take each other down.

It was my idea for high culture and popular culture to be treated equally.

The idea of multiculturalism, that every culture is equal - that's not objectively true.

If there is only one culture all over the world, that's not a good thing.

In order to be universal, you have to be rooted in your own culture.

We are, at almost every point of our day, immersed in cultural diversity: faces, clothes, smells, attitudes, values, traditions, behaviours, beliefs, rituals.

Culture is to know the best that has been said and thought in the world.
