Most of the art I have is more on the beautiful side than the violent or disturbing side.

You don't have a balanced life if you don't have art.

Recycling old buildings to show art is very important.

Of course, museums and galleries and art spaces will continue to ground the art world. But certainly the public - as well as artists - also benefit when art is encountered in other everyday situations.

Art shouldn't be prohibited in public schools when kids in private schools always get it.

I'm hoping someday that we'll be able to start a consortium with places like Carnegie Hall to work on early childhood education. I really feel that's the most important place to put the arts.
