In science we see progress. In art there is no progress. In art the questions have always been the same. From the beginning of time till now, we are always asking the same questions.

The only thing that changes is that, in each period of questioning, we speak with the language of our time.

If you don't put the spiritual and religious dimension into our political conversation, you won't be asking the really big and important question.

What is our obligation to one another and community? If we don't ask those questions, the residual questions that we're asking aren't as interesting.
