Without freedom, no art; art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.

If you can make people understand why freedom is so important through the arts, that would be a big help.

That's the very definition of freedom: to be allowed to develop our own creative potential to the fullest. But it doesn't have to be in the arts, obviously. In my case, I gravitated toward the arts.

Art gives me the freedom I don't have when I make music.

Art is what you can get away with.

I am increasingly unimpressed by works of art that require a college degree to understand. I think that art should be for everyone. And people should be moved by it.

The work of art is a scream of freedom.

I mean, art for art's sake is ridiculous. Art is for the sake of one's needs.

I think art education, especially in this country, which government pretty much ignores, is so important for young people.
