I don't think the American government has a lot of respect for culture.
I went to Havana, and I was like, "Wow, there's culture everywhere!" That was one thing that I did notice when I went to Cuba was that artists are paid to be artists, and poets are paid to be poets, and musicians are paid to be musicians by the government. The government - and I'm not saying that the Cuban government's perfect - but the government does place a value on culture.
In USA culture is just a matter of commerce. So, you know, I don't really look for that, and I don't expect to find it in any city.
It may sound weird, but I don't really look for culture, particularly in an American city.
