Found Michelle Obama's comments at the CAPA (Creative and Performing Arts High School in Pittsburgh) absolutely great. I wish this attitude towards arts would penetrate our lives on all levels.
"We believe strongly that the arts aren't somehow an "extra" part of our national life, but instead we feel that the arts are at the heart of our national life. It is through our music, our literature, our art, drama and dance that we tell the story of our past and we express our hopes for the future."
I personally also firmly believe that it is art and culture that moves the world forward more than politics, money and such would do.
"And most of all, the arts have the power to connect us to each other throughout nations."
Let me tell you, the most fantastic thing is to experience when my songs from my little country Hungary, or the Balkans, Ireland, Peru or the Solomon Islands reach and touch people from Spain, Israel, India, Brazil or the US.

Thank you, First Lady, and I am very grateful to all the art lovers who are giving power to all young and not-so-young, amateur and professional artists and help us in any ways to do our job in creating a good world to live in.
