Controversy is part of the nature of art and creativity.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If art is singular expression, then by nature, the best art is controversial. But when art stirs debate for reasons besides its artistic integrity, that's when things get bent.
I think the point of art is to be controversial in a lot of ways. It's to cause conversations, and it's to get people excited about and talking about the things that the films are about.
Creativity comes from a conflict of ideas.
I think all art comes out of conflict. When I write I am always looking for the dramatic kernel of an event, the junctures of people's lives when they go in one direction, not another.
I think you don't do work for controversy alone, and whenever you do new work which people don't understand and they say it is done to create controversy.
As an artist you have the luxury of maybe presenting an issue in a certain way, as opposed to actually solving it.
A lot of people are intimated by art, but it's something to be revered beyond criticism.
I like controversy. The more controversial it gets, the more interesting it is.
I think it is in collaboration that the nature of art is revealed.
Art is a subject that is inundated with opinions. In fact, that's all it is about is opinions.
