Art is about building better worlds, different worlds, strange worlds, romantic worlds. Sometimes art mocks too.

The death of art is pedantry. Some people insist that there should always be a moral imperative. Why? Isn't it more entertaining to submit to the chaos of the universe rather than to march in the streets for this cause or that.

Art must be apolitical. I hate communists! Well, I hate capitalism too (but not all capitalists.) My favorite paradox: Nothing is true. My least favorite myth is the socio-economic myth. The poor are usually happier - they have more to shoot for.

Art should be by and for the imagination. No pedantry. No social causes. No moral imperatives.
