Right now as an artist, what I want to do is be a part of works that are unignorable. I couldn't be less interested in how people receive it, honestly. As long as it's unignorable.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm not looking to be an artist to make money. I'm looking to be an artist.
I've achieved what every artist wants, which is that some of their work will outlive them.
There are forms of art that I might not like to do myself, but I still have respect for the artists who create it.
I don't see myself as an artist, as a writer. The sort of writing that I do, which is popular fiction, it's work. I have contracts to fulfil, and I have deadlines to meet.
The only honest and generous thing for me to do is to give people myself. That's all I've got as an artist, so I want to do that in an unflinching way.
As an artist, you can never get what you want. What you do never approaches what you want it to be.
I'm an artist, and the need to get inside myself and be creative and be other people is a part of who I am. I don't imagine I'll abandon that completely.
For the life of me, I'll never understand how you can be an artist but not want people to understand who you are as a person.
Art is anything you can get away with.
Art is what you can get away with.
