The only criticism that hurts. Knowing when something's not done. If the spirit of the work gets cut out. The relativity of the term "mainstream." Making art in tough times. Not getting too invested in trends. Hard truths and putting on blinders. Working diligently. The threatening quality of announcing to others you intend to be a comedian.

Creating one’s own work versus producing other people’s work. Knowing when something’s ready and unfinished jokes. Art bros, Yes men, and the fear of losing it. Making others think it was also their idea. The false idea of “spotting talent.” Give artists a budget to make things and fuck off.
