Most artists have careers that move along on an even keel, or fly up and down like a roller coaster.
A work that will never be forgotten, and a work that everything else will be compared to. You'd think you could answer something a couple times and they'd be disinterested. I find myself saying the same thing I said a thousand times. But then when I'm asked something, I do it again, with the same original enthusiasm. I kind of envy people who are sullen, quiet.
