2) It sounds like he is being cynical, but there might be truth behind what he is saying.

3) If the matter is highly subjective is there a right or wrong?

5) no i don't believe this, Ringling is one of the larger parts of the art world.

6) I would never place words over visual expression.

7)no, i don't believe so, but maybe somewhere else.

8) no, i think it helps us better understand ourselves and what we must do to better ourselves.
