Well, Art is Art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now you tell me what you know.

What is comedy? Comedy is the art of making people laugh without making them puke.

Art is the concrete representation of our most subtle feelings.

It would have to be connected with performance art somehow, either in the front of the house or the back. I was myopic about this from fourth grade on.

Theatre is how I first encountered art on any level.
