Artwork Can Be A Portal, A Kind

Art Has A Smaller Audience Than, Say, Movies Or Other Forms Of Mass Consumption. But That Doesn't Mean The Work Doesn't Have An Impact In A Way That Transcends Just A Few Cultural Arbiters.

There Are A Lot Of Ideas I Have That I Think Would Be Very Marketable And Commercial, But They're Not As Compelling To Me As The Ones That Are Unmarketable, Uncommercial, And Unprofitable.

Some People Will Of Course Accuse Me Of Misanthropy And Cynicism. I Can't Celebrate Humanity But I'm Not Out To Indict It Either. I Just Want To Expose Certain Truths.

I've Always Said That I Myself Am Not The Best Audience For My Own Work, Because I'm Just Not That Receptive To Comedy.

In Particular, People Have Trouble Understanding Where I Stand In Relation To My Characters, And Very Often This Gets Reduced To Me Making Vicious Fun Of Them.
