A reader should know what he might reasonably expect under a particular label.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Writers never feel comfortable having labels attached to them, however accurate they are.
As far as I am concerned, I write novels, and other people can do the labelling.
Once you get labelled, people expect you to behave within the very narrow confines of that label.
Readers often bring a different set of criteria to the work based on the format.
I don't like labels. I don't understand the need for them. When you define yourself a certain way, people have expectations.
I've never concerned myself with the labels people want to put on you. What matters to me is my own estimation.
As far as being on a major label, some labels get it and get what they have to do, and some labels don't. I don't think the label I'm on necessarily gets it, but I think over time they're gonna have to.
The will to label will always prevail over what's being labeled, usually at the expense of either truth or understanding.
To be very blunt, I am not really that concerned with what labels get associated with somebody.
There is no one label that could be attached to me that would be thought adequate.
