Creative output, you know, is just pain. I'm going to be cliche for a minute and say that great art comes from pain.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think good art happens on that edge between comfortable and in a lot of pain, you know what I mean?
Pain is such an important thing in life. I think that as an artist you have to experience suffering.
All the best parts of art come from pain turned to celebration.
I love art, but not in a cliched, luvvie way.
Creating art is painful. It takes time, practice, and the courage to stand alone.
If my art has nothing to do with people's pain and sorrow, what is 'art' for?
Art is a deception that creates real emotions - a lie that creates a truth. And when you give yourself over to that deception, it becomes magic.
I think art comes from some sense of discomfort with the world, some sense of not quite fitting with it.
Art comes from a visceral need and is usually generated by something I have seen; writing comes from something that happens in my head and my heart.
For one thing, I don't think art needs to be about suffering; sometimes it really seems like it's only the art about pain that is interpreted as profound, and in my work for years I've really tried to deal with subjects that are substantial, not just fluffy, but presented in a more playful, approachable kind of way.
