People don't really have a relationship with great writing or great production or great art direction or great direction. They just sort of admire it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A lot of people are intimated by art, but it's something to be revered beyond criticism.
Today there are millions of people making stuff and putting it into the world: that's become part of our identity and it shouldn't be limited to people who fancy themselves writers, or who are particularly witty or talented.
There's a great social component to being a writer, to being an artist.
It's like a novelist writing far out things. If it makes a point and makes sense, then people like to read that. But if it's off in left field and goes over the edge, you lose it. The same with musical talent, I think.
Art is essentially communication. It doesn't exist in a vacuum. That's why people make art, so other people can relate to it.
I think most of the people involved in any art always secretly wonder whether they are really there because they're good or there because they're lucky.
Art is for anyone. It just isn't for everyone. Still, over the past decade, its audience has hugely grown, and that's irked those outside the art world, who get irritated at things like incomprehensibility or money.
From an artist's point of view, I always want to work with the writers I admire.
I've always thought that one of the least successful encounters is meeting a writer one admires. For one thing, writers are generally much kinder, more empathetic, more generous people on the page than they are in person.
I'm not a writer. I know a lot of writers; I know a handful of really excellent, great ones, and I know what they're like. They are in love with language. They're obsessed with it. Even if their thoughts aren't more special than anybody else's, they have a way of putting them into words that makes them sensational.
