• I think the arts has great potential to create citizens. Citizenship is about the direction your imagination travels. We can't plan or calculate or examine citizenship; it's an imagined thing.

Once you can imagine something different, something better, then you're on your way.

Government owes them something better than always finding a new way to make them share the fruit of their toils with others.
