Critical intelligence cannot be equal to this challenge as long as it confines itself to self-satisfied contemplation.

One of the things that I have seen change that warms the cockles of my heart is what is happening in the cosmetics industry.

I've talked with people who work in the cosmetics departments, and they tell me, Without that, you can't sell them. And that's wonderful!

As Bartok put it so succinctly: "Competitions are for horses." Nothing could be more barbaric that the practice or ranking artists as though they were divers or figure skaters....What one suspects is that the appetite for dividing the world into winners and losers, anointed and anonymous, is so compulsive that it feeds with special, vindictive hunger on the most elusive and ephemeral of subjects. For if music can be reduced to games of power and success, then innocence-love without profit-can be dealt a crushing blow.
