Art has to be too much, or it’s not enough.

August 3, 2019

I work with so many clients who have ‘big energy.’ They worry about being ‘too much,’ they want to be nice and fit in. But artists are people who can’t live in that place of ‘fitting in’…that’s not what they’re ABOUT. Their GIFT is to be TOO MUCH. I’m reminded of something the film critic Pauline Kael said, “Art doesn’t come in measured quantities: it’s got to be too much or it’s not enough.” PLEASE y’all. Be too much.
