The reason I don't like realist, photorealist, neorealist, or whatever, is that I am as interested in the artificial as I am in the real.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
What I dislike is conventional realism - a system of gestures, descriptions, psychological revelations that was once a vital way of representing the world but has become hackneyed through endless repetition. I'd argue that a conventional realist isn't a realist at all, but a falsifier of the real.
I hate that which we have decided to call realism, even though I have been made one of its high priests.
If I sound like I'm enjoying myself, it's not artificial. It's real.
I don't quite operate within the realist mode. I kind of push the stories out towards the cusp of believability - that's the area of interest for me.
I like to be real. I don't like things to be staged or fussy.
One of the things I strive for is realism. I need to be as real as possible in the dilemmas my characters face.
Sometimes, the only realists are the dreamers.
I don't believe in anything artificial. I don't believe in makeup.
They are imbeciles who call my work abstract. That which they call abstract is the most realistic, because what is real is not the exterior but the idea, the essence of things.
I am a mixture of idealist and realist.
