forever stuff deadline
If I don't have a deadline, I could fuss around with stuff for forever.
religious people belief
They say the one thing that people who live the longest have in common is that they have a religious belief.
memories names self
I can never remember names. I'm so self-centered and have a terrible memory...
art thinking color
I realized that I wasn't naturally born to good taste. I understand what it is, but I am happy to wear bright colors. I do have a few items of black clothing, but I think good taste and doing the same thing over and over again is what the whole art world has become.
earth aspergers example
Warhol was a prime example of a schizoid person. Maybe he had Asperger's, or maybe he was just an amorous human being on earth.
motivation people going-out
When you're younger, you go out and you're convivial because you have to be. But once you don't have to meet people anymore, what's your motivation in going out?
successful thinking artist
I've had far more success than I ever expected. But I do think that a lot of successful artists have an aim to be successful, even if they don't outwardly sound like it. I never really expected success.
thinking years people
I'm getting more and more isolated as I get on in years. I think people's insanity starts to slowly take over.
neurosis aspergers schizophrenia
I feel like schizoid is a precursor to schizophrenia or manic depression. I feel like I'm manic. I have parts of schizoid, parts of Asperger's. I'm a smorgasbord of neuroses.
jealous artist sick
The one thing I'm jealous of a signature-artist situation is that if you just do one thing and slight variations on it, you wouldn't have to kill yourself to get a show done. I'm sick of killing myself.
art light needs
There's so much art and it's gotten so flashy. In the global marketplace, having art that's shiny and has neon lights is almost what you need for anyone to notice it in an art fair situation - and art fairs seem to be more and more the only thing there is.
art war self
There's so many bigger things in the world. The art world is such a tiny little thing compared to wars and migration crises. It's weird to be self-absorbed in it.
country generation innovator known musicians nashville raw reason respected younger
I think the reason he was so well known and respected by a younger generation of country musicians was because he was an innovator and rebel. He did it out of the Nashville establishment. He had a raw edge.
art different kind
There's a lot of different kinds of success. I'm so dedicated to the making of the art that the rest of my life atrophies, unfortunately.
