art good
I think if you're good at art, you'll be good at most types of art.
art funny obviously
It's obviously funny to be a meme, so I could be down with it in that regard, but it also belittles one's art.
art easy empty industry music spaces
There used to be a lot of industry in Montreal, and now there's not, so it's really easy to get huge, empty spaces where you can practice and make music or make art for very, very cheap.
block artist people
My manager lives on my block; four of the apartments in my apartment complex of seven are people I know. It's a really close-knit community, and almost everyone on these few blocks are artists or graphic designers, because we live right on the cusp of a warehouse district.
art crazy going-crazy
I like going crazy. And not just for art - I like extremes in general.
crazy moving artist
When an artist, or whomever, moves from their scene to the bigger pond, it starts getting crazy, because all of a sudden people don't respect you, and you have to start being a lot more aggressive than you would normally be.
art giving world
Art gives me an outlet where I can be aggressive in a world where I usually can't be.
art freaked people totally unless worried
I'm not interested in making art unless I'm totally freaked out and worried people are going to hate it.
artist differences giving
I'm an artist...The difference is that I don't tell anybody. I refuse to give them new reasons to laugh at me.
artificial dear learned lived people
I never wanted to return to Hollywood because Hollywood people and the fakeness - very artificial and not dear to my heart. After I lived in the Midwest, and I learned what sincere, real people were all about, I never wanted to go back.
art building frames people talking work
I like talking to people and I do a lot of work here. I put up a lot of the frames for the art and photos, and I like building things for the museum.
art done dramatic
I've never done theater professionally. But I went to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, so I did some theater there.
animal collective hearing loss permanent seen suffered
I've seen Animal Collective live, and I suffered permanent hearing loss from that show!
beings curve human learning music natural obscure
The thing about music is it's not an obscure pursuit, it's a very natural thing for human beings to do. Once you put in the effort, the learning curve is very fast.
