Recycling old buildings to show art is very important.

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

If it's taught well, art really is important to kids early on. It helps children develop language and allows them to see themselves in a way that isn't right or wrong, because if they draw an animal with five legs instead of four, nobody's criticizing them for it.

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

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.
