I think most artists feel like they're outside society - no matter how many accolades they receive, or how much money is in your bank account, whatever is going on in your life on the professional side.

I've noticed in my life that as you work on more things with more people, you spend less time hanging out with other people who are artists, creative people who give you a sense of family.

An artist doesn't necesetharily have to get acclaim from the outside. Maybe it is much better if he can get validation from within.

I do know that for all the artists it's very important to speak in a vernacular that can be understood by everyone.
