To me, anything that you do that you truly believe in makes you an artist. It doesn't necessarily mean being a painter or a film maker. That's art, but there's more to it than that. As long as you're pouring your heart and soul into what you're doing, that's the weapon.” BelieveHeartMeanLongArtSoulHelpingKidsFilmArtistWifeWeaponsArt IsMy WifePainterMakersVolunteerHeart And SoulPouringUnderprivileged Author:Ray Toro
“All art is propaganda. ... The only difference is the kind of propaganda. Since art is essential for human life, it can't just belong to the few.
