Final uh final works . Understanding how , how you feel in the face of other voices without second guessing yourself is probably the single most important um thing to practice as an artist or skill set to develop as an artist is to know how you feel and own your feelings . And the , and the key to that is not , I know .
When something feels creatively right ? And you're sensing it and um and you're there , let's say in the studio or maybe even you're listening to something that somebody sent you .
It doesn't work that way . It's just I know for me and the reason I chose to be an artist is to demonstrate , this is how I see it . If I'm , if I'm undermining my taste for some commercial idea or uh it , it defeats the whole purpose of doing this .
That's different than what is it when I'm tasting these two things , which is the one I wanna finish eating and , and if I were to say , hm , I like this one better , but it needs a little salt and then put a little salt on . It's like , hm , maybe I put too much salt and you , and you know , when you taste it , it's like , it's , it's that simple , um , being in tune enough with ourselves to really know how we feel in the face of knowing that other people might feel very differently , which is part of the challenge .
