All I want to do is make sure that art is available to all Americans in a participatory way, whether you engage in the art process yourself or you're an audience member.

I began to think, The endowment has had a bad reputation in the last few years, and that's unfair.
I don't know how one actually ...
I don't know how one actually would define obscenity. I'm sure the definition is different according to the age one is living in.

I knew as well as anybody what the endowment does for artists because I had been someone it had supported through not-for-profit theater.

When we teach a child to sing or play the flute, we teach her how to listen. When we teach her to draw, we teach her to see. When we teach a child to dance, we teach him about his body and about space, and when he acts on a stage, he learns about character and motivation. When we teach a child design, we reveal the geometry of the world. When we teach children about the folk and traditional arts and the great masterpieces of the world, we teach them to celebrate their roots and find their own place in history.

There's a lot of people in any given community - rural, inner-city, or whatever - who have simply no access to the arts.

The endowment has never funded anything completely by itself, except in a few cases.

Senator Helms might very well do that. I would point out to him that we in the art world are not necessarily in the business of making controversial art.
