It is true that I am often startled and even angered and repulsed by the strange directions and provocative content of new forms that seem to pop up every few months.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Personally, I try to be provocative but not needlessly provocative in my work.
I'm drawn to provocative characters that find themselves in extreme situations. And I think I'm drawn to that consistently.
There were a lot of people who were a little afraid of the rage or blaming stance I was taking, and find what I am doing now more refreshing.
I think when I first started out, I had a kind of an exuberance about language, comedy, narrative leaps that... stopped just short of non sequiturs. And I'm much more cautious now.
The way I'm portrayed on the Internet is partly my doing, but it's partly the people that are presenting it so, you know, people come to know this strange version of a human. It can be pretty weird because people think I'm digging through dumpsters and smell like crap all the time.
I suppose you inevitably fall into habits of expression.
In this world, emotion has become suspect - the accepted style is smooth, antiseptic and passionless.
I naturally want to be provocative.
You never make all things for all people and can't always pander to the broadest denominator. I keep an eye toward doing the themes that interest me. Do they move me? Interest me? Make me think? When I run across something that is provocative in an unsettling way, it appeals to me.
I enjoy provocative things that are questionable.
