The most important thing for anyone, I think, is to be engaged, whether you're an artist or a journalist is to be engaged in the process at some level.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As an artist, the most important thing and the most special thing is when your intention shines through on the work.
I think journalism is important.
I think it's very important for writers and artists generally to be witnesses to the world, and to be transparent. To let other people speak... to travel... to experience the world. And memorialize it.
The responsibility that I feel is to do as good a job as a journalist as I can possibly do.
I think the most important thing we as writers can do is figure out how we define what success will mean to us and focus on that.
More and more, I think about the role of the arts, and as an artist, I think that it's important that I share the love and peace.
Art is a private thing, the artist makes it for himself; a comprehensible work is the product of a journalist. We need works that are strong, straight, precise, and forever beyond understanding.
I think the most important thing for an artist is to not worry about what anybody else thinks. You just have to do what comes from your heart and your being and put it out there-that's true in any of the arts.
It has always been important to me to be a creative artist, not to be a star, not to be rich, not to be famous.
The most important thing for me as an artist is having an identity.
