That's the beautiful thing about being an artist, is you can take risks and take chances and hopefully be secure enough to just keep going with it if you fall flat on your face.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm an artist, and I like the risk - I'm not in it for the sure things.
Believing in yourself and what you do is so important. It took me a long time to find that confidence. If you're an artist and you're taking risks, then you're doing something right if some people don't get it.
I'm not an artist, and I want to take risks, and when the possibility of failure occurs, it's because the idea is all exciting or interesting as a high wire act, and sometimes you've got to fall off, just by virtue of the fact that you're constantly trying to evolve and do new things.
When I've worked with established artists, I've naturally been more restricted, but you still have to take risks and push yourself to do something different.
Part of being an artist is that you are always concerned you don't have what it takes. It... keeps us honest.
You're supposed to be a control freak when you're an artist. That's the whole point of having a vision: Why have one if you're not going to protect it?
For me, the best way to be as an artist is to be completely yourself, letting that vulnerability come through.
Well, I always run the risk of falling on my face, which has in fact happened.
I have to live authentically at all times. And that's part of what makes me an artist. I'm not scared to do that.
You have to be willing to be afraid if you're going to be an artist.
