If i had to spend equal time doing paintings, and equal time going to galleries and doing art business, and equal time making music, and equal time going to record companies, or to the publicist or to the lawyer, forget it. it would take four times as long to do all that stuff. unless i had a patron. that's why leonardo da vinci was successful. he had the medicis, right?

More From Debbie Harry

Leonardo da vinci had such a playful curiosity. if you read his notebooks, you'll see he's curious about what the tongue of a woodpecker looks like, but also why the sky is blue, or how an emotion forms on somebody's lips. he understood the beauty of everything. i've admired leonardo my whole life, both as a kid who loved engineering - he was one of the coolest engineers in history - and then as a college student, when i travelled to see his notebooks and paintings.

Leonardo da vinci did not take received wisdom - whether from ancient classical thinkers or medieval scholars or from the bible - without questioning it. and this was the beginning of the scientific method. this is another lesson for our time: that when we have evidence that contradicts a certain belief, we should be willing to change it. i think this made leonardo, in some ways, a person who better understood the beauty of god's creation than a person who just takes all received wisdom from the bible on faith.

If you spend your own money on yourself, you care how much you spend and how well you spend it. if you spend your own money on someone else, you care how much you spend, but you don't care how well it is spent. if you spend someone else's money on yourself, you don't care how much you spend, but you do care how well it is spent. and finally, if you spend someone else's money on someone else, you don't care how much you spend, and you don't care how well it is spent. that is government.

The music business has made a 360. it's a whole 'nother game. it's not nearly what it was. and i fear for it, because, you know, with the advent of the computer and online and downloading and all these things, they have destroyed - that stuff has destroyed the record business, not the music business, but the record business. the music business is well, and it's alive and thriving. now, i hope something happens to turn it back around to the point whereas it's - you're earning a living from writing your songs, from your work, you know, because it's not like that anymore.

Anyone who relishes art should love the extraordinary diversity and psychic magic of our art galleries. there's likely more combined square footage for the showing of art on one new york block - west 24th street between tenth and eleventh avenues - than in all of amsterdam's or hamburg's galleries.

It would be very tempting to say that why paint because we have michelangelo, we have leonardo [da vinci], we have all these guys. why waste your time, because most likely you're not going to be on that level anyway.
