I don’t usually cite phrases, but there is one that I found interesting and wanted to share with you~!
“Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self” – Cyril Connolly
And of course, this applies to any situation you may come across. Are you living for your own or living for some one else? Easy to say for the majority of the people, but not really when the people live on something that needs to be publicly recognized. Designers, music producers, actors…well, it encompasses quite a lot of artists!
How to please yourself and please the public at the same time? It’s a difficult question, since evey single person’s taste is not the same. I’ve been hearing people who are complaining about their job when it was supposed to be their hobby! Yet, in order to please the public, sometimes they have to give up their own style and what they like. Though, I am not saying that artists cannot survive when they are doing things that please themselves! (Erm, I wonder if you can understand, since I can’t find a sense in what I am talking about)
It’s a question to think about…What type of artist are you?
You? or Another You?
