What makes someone an artist? I don't think is has anything to do with a paintbrush. There are painters who follow the numbers, or paint billboards, or work in a small village in China, painting reproductions. These folks, while swell people, aren't artists. On the other hand, Charlie Chaplin was an artist, beyond a doubt. So is Jonathan Ive, who designed the iPod. You can be an artist who works with oil paints or marble, sure.

What will most certainly happen is that there will be very clear and full communication between the government and independents and minor parties.

We should spend time walking together, eating together, making acquaintance, telling each other about our own suffering, without blame or condemnation.

So if I am to organize a peace negotiation, I will organize it in that way.
