I enjoy popularisation and I think I'm reasonably good at it. I also think it's a duty. It's just so pedagogically stupid to forget how difficult one found these ideas oneself to begin with.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
By not caring too much about what people think, I'm able to think for myself and propagate ideas which are very often unpopular. And I succeed.
I think it's probably a good lesson for other people to follow - to not always make the decision that's popular for others, but to do what you feel like is the right thing to do.
I just do what I do. It's not something that should be revered as something that's great.
No matter how hard I tried to popularize, I never cheapened a great work of art.
I just did what I did and I still am. It makes you unpopular, maybe for a lifetime, but I'd rather do that than be popular and doubt what I am.
I really just do what I like. I don't understand what the general public likes sometimes.
I was never looking to be popular. The trade-off for me in seeking other people's opinions is the potential to help that you get in the media. And we don't always do that, but when we do, it's a beautiful thing.
It's not my job to be popular. I'm goal-driven; my job is to get results.
I don't know what people find or like in me, I'm hopelessly commonplace! Current appreciation of my work is a bit highbrow, I've always considered myself a popular artist.
If you have a success you have it for the wrong reasons. If you become popular it is always because of the worst aspects of your work.
