I'm someone who speaks my mind, so it was important to me that my publisher value originality and creative expression.

Being a wife and a mother is very gratifying, but it's not a creative expression and that's something I need to be happy.

Like Love, Art ties together all the great sacred traditions because they all used creative expression, or we wouldn't know about them.

Maybe clothes are a form of creative expression for me. An outlet. Because I don't get to express myself creatively through my official duties.

I've seen situations where I think comics are really unrealistic about what creative expression and what the artistic freedom, what that entails.

Clothing started as an armor for me. It was one of the ways that I protected myself from the world. It evolved into a form of creative expression.

Russia, France, Germany and China. They revere their writers. America is still a frontier country that almost shudders at the idea of creative expression.

The most important thing about intellectual property vs. creative expression is that copyright law was created not to stifle creativity but to encourage creativity.

China is important to the world in that they are a force and on the move. Exposing them to figurative art opens up a potential for artistic expression far greater than anyone would ever have dreamed possible until today.

I was raised around a lot of artists, musicians, photographers, painters and people that were in theater. Just having the art-communal hippie experience as a child, there wasn't a clear line that was drawn. We celebrated creative experience and creative expression. We didn't try and curtail it and stunt any of that kind of growth.

Measuring success in cultural diplomacy - the use of education, creative expression in any form, or people-to-people exchange to increase understanding across regions, cultures, or peoples - is challenging.
