I wasn't thinking of competing with any artists as such, I was more thinking of being among them, and sharing thoughts with them; like sharing views, ideas, etc. ↗

Artists are notoriously snooty and suspicious of anything coming from the business community. ↗

I've noticed a lot of younger artists have less fear of doing different sorts of things, whether it's various types of music, or gallery artists moving between video and sculpture and drawing. ↗

A lot of times, when a band finds success with a certain style or sound, they have a really hard time breaking away from that to grow as artists. ↗

I love my body. I'm very much OK with it. I don't think artists are ever the ones who have the problem with their weight, it is other people. ↗

...hanging out does not make one an artist. A secondhand wardrobe does not make one an artist. Neither do a hair-trigger temper, melancholic nature, propensity for tears, hating your parents, nor even HIV - I hate to say it - none of these make one an artist. They can help, but just as being gay does not make one witty (you can suck a mile of cock, as my friend Sarah Thyre puts it, it still won't make you Oscar Wilde, believe me), the only thing that makes one an artist is making art. And that requires the precise opposite of hanging out; a deeply lonely and unglamorous task of tolerating oneself long enough to push something out. ↗

I do not deny that I have made drawings and watercolors of an erotic nature. But they are always works of art. Are there no artists who have done erotic pictures? ↗

There are people who help you in life. I've been given a helping hand, and that's why I feel it's my duty to help younger artists. ↗
