"Because art is important. And because you believe in what you do and you want to honour that, and it is a tradition that needs to be upheld."
(Nicole Kidman, accepting Oscar for The Hours, 2003)
"Because art, in any form, is and has been and will always be our universal language and we should do everything we can, everything we can, to protect its survival."
Last night I was losing my time (wait- I don't find it losing my time, rather enjoying my time and spreading my culture and knowledge about human life) on YouTube listening and watching several Oscar Acceptance speeches, trying to find out what kind of person actors and actresses which I often see acting in movies are.
My favourite speeches were obviously the one by Nicole Kidman, and the ones by Julia Roberts and Kate Winslet. I was comforted by knowing that people I consider quite "untouchable" such as Hollywood stars feel the same way I do about art. I know I've got no experience yet, but ideally I felt comforted. I always thought I would become a singer, or I'd be acting in a musical, but maybe it'd be interesting to become writer, or best, director. Make people dream as I do... Mmm I think I'm raising this post to abstraction! Better stop. :)
