TV, film, and theater are considered art, and art is a reflection of life. What happens in life includes violence, unfortunately.
A lot of time, the music reflects reality, which reflects music.
Although even when I am being idle I have plenty of food for thought both early and late - thoughts both about and not about art.
Movies don't necessarily change culture. I don't know if we know for sure if movies change culture but we know for sure that they reflect culture.
I think art can reflect tragedy.
We want people to experience art and think about it. The art reflects our time, it is about our culture.
You grow and evolve and as you do that, your art hopefully reflects that change and that growth.
I am always rethinking how art is perceived and received, questioning our relationship to art. That's always been a constant.
I see 30 to 40 gallery shows a week, and no matter what kind of mood I'm in, no matter how bad the art is, I almost always feel better afterward. I can learn as much from bad art as from good.
