Clive Davis quote

“I am enormously proud to play a part in the creation of this new program which will give ambitious and hard-working young men and women the fundamentals and skills to serve as the foundation for success in the industry that I love. I can think of no better place for such a program to reside than at the Tisch School of the Arts, the country’s greatest performing arts school, located in the performing arts capital of the world.” by Clive Davis

I found this quote intriguing because it shows a successful person trying to help the youth of today's day and age. It also shows how he feels about NYU and their art program. He feels that it is the best place to help aspiring actors, singers and other young people who want a career in the entertainment business. Not only does Clive Davis "say" he would like to help the youth but he did something to make a difference by developing a program in which he can help them by himself since he holds a very high position at J-Records (A very prominent record label in the music industry; home to many successful music artists such as Mario and Alicia Keys).
