The reality, sitting ten thousand miles away, is that we remain the country that inspires. We remain that shining city on a hill.
I love music, I love all kinds of music, particularly jazz. Jazz is an extension of America. There’s no other country in the world that could have produced jazz.
This is a time when the United States should be standing tall. There is no other leader in the world today. We shouldn’t be approaching conflicts as a team sport. We either get in an we lead and we do a good job, or you don’t get in at all.
It’s a tribal state, and it always will be. Whether we like it or not, whenever we withdraw from Afghanistan, whether it’s now or years from now, we’ll have an incendiary situation. Should we stay and play traffic cop? I don’t think that serves our strategic interests.
I would vote to increase the debt limit if there was a corresponding level of cuts. And if there was some serious talk about a balanced budget amendment, which we as governors always had to deal with.
Art isn’t supposed to change the world, but it can.
An artist should be taking risks. That’s the whole idea of being an artist.
I never forget those who do me a favor, and I never forget those who don’t!
The city’s the best gallery I could imagine. I would never have to make a book and then present it to a gallery and let them decide if my work was nice enough to show it to people. I would control it directly with the public in the streets.
I want to create the largest-ever participatory art project and highlight the concept of Shadow Philanthropy, where people help others create work without taking credit for it – through this we can really change the world.
I grew up in the suburbs, a calm suburb, without tension, with working-class and middle-class people mixed together.
The real art is in the street, is making the artwork, and for that you have to involve people. The action is actually the artwork.
Nobody gives you power. Real power is something you take.
When your holding a double barrel shotgun use both barrels.
Like my daddy always said, where there’s a way, there’s a will.
I’m waiting for the king to arrive.
Anything worth having is worth going for- all the way.
Revenge is the single most satisfying feeling in the world!
A conscience is like a boat or a car. If you feel you need one, rent it.
Don’t forgive and never forget; Do unto others before they do unto you; and third and most importantly, keep your eye on your friends, because your enemies will take care of themselves!
