Good taste is the first refuge of the non-creative. It is the last-ditch stand of the artist.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As an artist, I understand that, and I value the creative input of the artist.
An artist's creative energy is ephemeral as a flower. It blooms and soon dies. No artist is great forever. Personally, I think I reached my peak in 2004 when I shot 'Samaria' and '3-Iron'.
Only a bad artist thinks he has a good idea. A good artist does not need anything.
The wonderful thing about being an artist in L.A. is that there is no taste. There's anarchy of taste, which seems good to me.
If your choice enters into it, then taste is involved - bad taste, good taste, uninteresting taste. Taste is the enemy of art, A-R-T.
I think sometimes an artist can really lose sight of what made them popular in the first place.
The creative artist seems to be almost the only kind of man that you could never meet on neutral ground. You can only meet him as an artist. He sees nothing objectively because his own ego is always in the foreground of every picture.
Nowhere in the job description of an artist is the requirement that I must validate your taste.
I have a soft spot for art that, in terms of subject matter and material, is in bad taste.
The chief enemy of creativity is 'good' sense.
