    “I feel this society somewhere has lost its sense of what art is. Art is expression. In expression, you need 100% full freedom and our freedom to express our art is seriously being fucked with. Fuck, the word 'fuck' has many connotations as does the word 'art'.”

A built in, totally spiritual, unexplainable, New Age, fuckin cosmic energy bursting love for passion. And yes, they are an even smaller percent amongst the small percent. And they are special!”
