“I definitely find joy in art—in the wonderful adventure of reading, in the challenge of enjoying a play in the theater, in the beauty and strength of dance, in my astonishment in front of a sculpture, in discovering new worlds in the eyes of photographers, filmmakers and painters, and, of course in the unifying, universal language of music!”
