“Every interview is as much an impression of the journalist as it is the artist or subject. You look at interviews and you see a portrait of two people. The worst thing that can happen is if you're misquoted and then that quote is misquoted. That does drive one crazy. The most embarrassing thing is when your words are misrepresented or sometimes you say something stupid and you live to regret it.” PeopleIfsLooksDoeTwoSometimesHappensArtistCrazyWorstSubjectsStupidRegretImpressionJournalistInterviewsPortraitsWorst ThingsEmbarrassing Author:Antony Hegarty
“I think what really separates artists from the rest of the world is that artists feel like they have permission to keep exploring and expressing their process. Most people censor that because they don't think it's good enough. Everything is measured against this patriarchal hierarchy of value, as if one person's singing voice is more important than another's.” PeopleIfsThinkingWorldFeelsPersonsImportantEnoughArtistValuesProcessVoiceSingingGood EnoughPermissionExploringHierarchy Author:Antony Hegarty
“I feel very grateful that for some reason I was raised to believe that I had permission to explore the creative world. I'm very aware of what a privilege that is, because most people don't grant themselves that permission, and I really think that's the only thing that separates people that call themselves artists from the rest of the world. It's suspending self-judgment for long enough to do something expressive.” PeopleThinkingWorldBelieveLongReasonEnoughArtistCreativeGrateful Author:Antony Hegarty
