We're Not Talking About An Elite Art Form From The Price Point Of View. We Have A Building In L.a. That Is Incredibly Open, Exciting, Inviting, And All That, And There's No Reason For This Music Not To Be Part Of Everybody's Everyday Life.

Of Course Performing Talent, That's Clear. Maybe This Is Not So Well-known Among Young People Who Are Interested In Music, Who Are Talented In Music, But They're Trying To Figure Out How To Go About It.

It Would Be Very Tempting To Say That Why Paint Because We Have Michelangelo, We Have Leonardo [da Vinci], We Have All These Guys. Why Waste Your Time, Because Most Likely You're Not Going To Be On That Level Anyway.
