Freedom in art, freedom in society, this is the double goal towards which all consistent and logical minds must strive.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I always strive for freedom: freedom of thought and expression.
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 enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.
If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.
I've been very lucky in the freedom that I've been given. Every artist needs two types of freedom: You need the freedom to - the freedom to come up with an idea or treatment - and then you need the other half of the freedom, and that's freedom from - somebody saying, 'This is great. This is how I want you to do it.'
The goal of art was the vital expression of self.
As an artist in the 21st century, my two goals are to make the best work that I can, improve as much as I can, and to distribute that work as far as I can.
The work of art is a scream of freedom.
Art is the daughter of freedom.
Without freedom, no art; art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.
