Every time you work, you have to do it all over again, to rid yourself of this dross. I suppose for a person who is not an artist or not attempting art, it is not dross, because it is the common exchange of everyday life.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Artists today think of everything they do as a work of art. It is important to forget about what you are doing - then a work of art may happen.
If you have something you do that's unique, you just end up in situations. Your art can take you to places without you working too hard to force something to happen.
It's a great excuse and luxury, having a job and blaming it for your inability to do your own art. When you don't have to work, you are left with the horror of facing your own lack of imagination and your own emptiness. A devastating possibility when finally time is your own.
Part of your job as an artist is to push yourself and make sure your creative juices are flowing.
The more you think, the more you ruin things. Art has to come viscerally; otherwise, forget it.
When the uncreative tell the creative what to do, it stops being art.
Art is like breathing for me. If I don't do it, I start to choke.
I unfortunately do suffer for my art.
Every once in a while I go off to do a movie or a television series and I take my art with me. I can stay in character when I paint.
If you don't work yourself up into a fever of greed and covetousness in an art museum, you're just not doing the job.
