As an artist, program directors always want to put you in a little box.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think I'm always conscious of not letting things fit into a specific box. Being a filmmaker and trying to chart a career, you never want anyone to be able to pigeonhole you into one specific thing.
Agents and producers have to get you into a box to accommodate their limited imaginations.
I don't think an artist should keep themselves categorized in a specific box.
Even for the people in the business who are real music lovers it's really about putting things in the right boxes, and my style doesn't fit into a box.
Like most creative people I don't fit well into boxes.
Anytime you put yourself in a creative box, it's going to stifle you; it's not conducive to the writing or recording process.
I don't like being put in a box. I just make music, you know?
I want to be an artist you cannot categorize at all. You can't put a box around me. You can't put anything around me.
Part of your job as an artist is to push yourself and make sure your creative juices are flowing.
When you're artistic director of a program, you present the music you want to present.
