If you continue to act like an artist as you get older, you'll increasingly feel pressure. People will question your actions.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think the frustration you can get into as a young artist is when you realize your limitations, but you want to accomplish that rather than seeing that you don't have to do everything. Just focus on your strengths.
You want, as an artist, to be pushing yourself to do what you haven't done before.
When you look at your life as an artist, you do see that when you get to be 60, you're coming - this is the last chapter.
When you're young and everything dramatic is exciting, you start to believe that hype that, in order to be an artist, you have to suffer. I've graduated from that school.
I think pressure exists in a situation only when you are unsure of your talent and people are expecting a lot from you due to your lineage.
Part of being an artist is that you are always concerned you don't have what it takes. It... keeps us honest.
There are so many artists who get to my age that get comfortable and just stick in a groove, and I really don't want to do that.
Being an artist doesn't start because you're 21, and it doesn't end because you're 51. You are who you are until the day you die.
I only like artists older than myself. Time is so important. It's always been the same way, I guess.
One of the greatest things about being an artist is, as you get older, if you keep working hard in relationship to what you want the world to be and how you want it to become, there is a history of interesting growth that resonates with different moments in your life.
