The art is what can't be put on a timeline. You can't say, 'Well, I'm going to make a record in May because that's when the producer has a window.' So just recording and getting things out is paramount for me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think that art is supposed to be ahead of the times.
One of the few things that will remain of this time is what artists are doing. They are the journal and the diary of our time.
If we were truly in the studio making a record, it would have been more time consuming, and certainly I would have been more involved in the writing process.
At a certain time, an artist needs a big retrospective. At other times, they need a more focused exhibition. It's a different story each time; it's about establishing a dialogue.
I am trying to do the best work I possibly can and making movies that will have resonance for years to come. I think if you try for an Oscar or a goal like that, the more people are going to see it as transparent. It's not on my radar. If it happens, great, but I'm happy to continue working as I am, really.
It really does take a lot of time to make records, to be in the studio and do all that stuff.
It's easier to make art for a society at a certain point in time with an understanding of what's going on.
The artists realise it will take time. It is an upliftment process.
As a producer, you're pretty much creating a body of work that an artist has to stand behind.
Timing has a lot to with art.
