Everybody is different. Some people like to share more. I just wouldn't want to spoil someone's opinion of me by them knowing me as a person instead of an artist.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For the life of me, I'll never understand how you can be an artist but not want people to understand who you are as a person.
I've been around long enough for people to know who I am and what my contributions are. They know me as more than just an artist. I think they know me as a woman as well.
A lot of people don't know me as an artist.
I have a lot of respect for all the artists I get compared to, even if, as an artist, you prefer to have your own identity.
If only the people around you know you're an artist, then you're doing something wrong.
That's part of the requirement for me to be an artist is that you're trying to share your personal existence with others and trying to illuminate modern life, trying to understand life.
What people don't understand is that how you are as an artist depends on how you are emotionally.
Artists don't really want to be marginalized. They believe that everybody should be able to appreciate the experience that an artist gives them, an experience that connects us to each other in a deep way.
What an artist is trying to do for people is bring them closer to something, because of course art is about sharing. You wouldn't be an artist unless you wanted to share an experience, a thought.
As an artist, it is great to be able to market yourself to people who don't know you, and people who do.
