I think with anything where you delve into the back story of an artist, it kind of explains their work more intimately.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Any artist that's involved in their work is inevitably going to have a focus in what they do.
I suppose an artist takes the elements of his life and rearranges them and then has them perceived by others as though they were the elements of their lives.
I think the job of artists is to stir things up.
I think that an artist is a bit like a computer. He receives information from the world around him and from his past and from his own experiences. And it all goes into the brain.
I think that it's the job of the artist to be in transition and constantly learn more.
An artist or a creative person of any kind goes about their work because it's their path, it's what excites them, it's what aligns their soul with who they truly are, who they showed up to be.
I think when you work with really wonderful directors who have a really strong vision, it lets you as an artist set the tone for your own career.
The works of previous artists have come from their own experiences or insights but haven't given the experience itself. They had set themselves up as a sort of interpreter to the layman... Our interest is in a form where you realize that the media are just perception.
Every artist preserves deep within him a single source from which, throughout his lifetime, he draws what he is, and what he says. When the source dries up, the work withers and crumbles.
It is very good advice to believe only what an artist does, rather than what he says about his work.
