You should trust any man in his own art provided he is skilled in it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think that an artist should be a skilled craftsman.
It is very good advice to believe only what an artist does, rather than what he says about his work.
You are just as qualified as any expert to make a judgment and have a feeling or a response to any work of art.
The only way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him.
Never trust the artist. Trust the tale. The proper function of the critic is to save the tale from the artist who created it.
I think if you want to make a performance authentic, there are a certain amount of leaps of faith into the unknown that you have to take. Otherwise, you're not really risking anything. I think if you don't risk something in art, it's not really important.
When there's writing that you really trust, it's very freeing as an artist.
People shouldn't trust artists and they shouldn't trust art. Part of the fun of art is that it invites you to interpret it.
Don't only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets; art deserves that, for it and knowledge can raise man to the Divine.
There's a unique bond of trust between readers and authors that I don't believe exists in any other art form; as a reader, I trust a novelist to give me his or her best effort, however flawed.
