Buffy Sainte-Marie
Take a bunch of little kids to the beach and they all make art. Adults are too stupid to call it art, but it is art. They'll use their imaginations, make drama, make up characters, make pictures in the sand, they'll make up songs that no one's ever heard before. All kids, I think, are creative, but they get it pounded out of them in school.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
Some people say I was very brave, but I really just didn't know any better. All I had was my originality.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
As a teenager I started painting and playing guitar.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
