unwilling night here at the democratic national convention hot talk to me a
little about what reason hearing and alan what we know how for the arts or to
you because you're there every day
it's just a partisan issue
no aren't intact critical issue
representing
presence at the r_n_c_ and the d_n_c_
leaning in terms of and funds for the arts more than
one-party more than the other
or who advocates u_s_ morgue
one than the other yes but funding is difficult for both because in times of
cutting the arts or what scott
what we're trying to remind them is that that's part of our culture
part of who we are and that uh... i have a two-and-a-half year-old son i want 'em
to be able to go to museums i want to be able to
europe and plant park i want him to
go see the big dinosaur
and get turned on by science a by the museum
and uh... it turns out that
kids who had experience in the arts or thirty percent more likely graduate from
high school
they get condoms points higher on their s_a_t_s and they're less likely to go
into juvenile delinquency and so on so
it's important to me not just because some actor
well because i'm a father
listen you say that
why it does isn't important
shoe it's it's laid bare on the table
but the republican party has
part of their platform wants to limit me the any yet
usery's
it's the secrets of the secret is
that uh... the motion picture industry and the entertainment industry of this
country
is the second biggest industry we've got
one below agriculture
if we can convince them
that there is money to be made that this
which he did some funding
soon saying like your mama promise im not mentally all right now it's our
secret
uh... so went out for extra effort being with us here in really appreciate it
