In art one is either oneself or nothing at all.
To pretend in art is a crime, it is but the worst form of self-negation that inevitably leads one to despair, confusion and disappointment. The artist who doubts his own heart, his own desire, his own creativity is the most miserable individual of all. For the artist to blossom into authenticity he must first embrace himself and place his faith solely upon his own creative power.
If at the critical moment the artist abandons confidence in his own creative ability and seeks external securities his own unique voice will be stifled and his creativity will not find complete expression.
