On Creating Great Art.

The key to producing a great work of art, be it a film, a piece of music, a work of architecture, a painting, a book, a dance, or whatever is to take the finished article back in time to a point where the world didn't even exist yet and see if it is still beautiful or relevant. These are the works, along with the men and women that produced them, that will earn the title "classic." These are the ones that deserve to win the highest prizes, and the secret to producing such works is loving the poor, teaching them also to love and serve one another!

Peace!
