Well, I Think Critics Are Very Useful. But I Think That They, In A Way, Betray Their Position When They Stop People Looking For Themselves. Judgment Is Very Easy, But I Think, On The Whole, Professional Critics Maybe See Too Much, And Compare Too Much, And Forget The Joy Of Actually Looking And Contemplating For Its Own Sake.

Maybe This Is A Utopian View Of Art But I Do Believe That Art Can Function As A Vehicle, That It Isn't Just A Cultural Pursuit, Something That Happens In Art Galleries. Unless Art Is Linked To Experience And The Fear And Joy Of That, It Becomes Mere Icing On The Cake.

I Believe In The City As A Natural Human Environment, But We Must Humanize It. It's Art That Will Re-define Public Space In The 21st Century. We Can Make Our Cities Diverse, Inspirational Places By Putting Art, Dance And Performance In All Its Forms Into The Matrix Of Street Life.

I Always Like To Look For Adventure When I Go Away. I Have Gone On Several Horse Adventures With My Wife - From Guangxi We Went Up To The High Tibetan Region. We Also Went Along The Hurunui River On Horseback In The South Island Of New Zealand.
